About Cheryl
I am licensed in Massachusetts with 30 plus years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, & parenting issues. I also have experience working with depression. I work with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
If desired, I offer biblical world view for you to consider. We are all in this life together. You are not alone!
