Sherri uses techniques drawn from attachment-based work and client-centered approaches to build rapport and trust.

Mindfulness practices are included when they help people manage stress and stay present.
Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people with addiction, grief, ADHD, caregiving strain, and complex co-occurring issues. She also notes an additional focus on adoption and foster care concerns and attachment-related difficulties.
People who prefer a collaborative, straightforward therapist may find her approach helpful. She aims to make the path forward clear, with steps you can try between sessions to measure progress and build confidence.
Online approaches that match your needs
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early bonds affect current patterns. It helps when connection, trust, or attachment issues are causing anxiety or relationship strain. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows your lead to help you find your own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where you and the therapist check progress and adjust strategies over time.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills in real-world settings and bring real-time situations into sessions for discussion. Ask about current session options to pick what best fits your routine and needs.
