My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

Hi, I’m Sherly — a licensed marriage and family therapist and life coach with a deep heart for helping midlife women find emotional balance, clarity, and confidence during one of the most misunderstood seasons of life: perimenopause and menopause. If you’re feeling like your emotions are all over the place, your relationships are under strain, or you don’t quite recognize yourself lately, you're not alone, and you're not broken. I offer short-term, solution-focused individual therapy sessions centered on practical solutions you can use right away. This type of therapy is ideal for people who want to address current challenges and are ready to make practical changes relatively quickly. These telehealth appointments don’t require a long-term commitment or digging into your past; instead, we’ll work together to set clear goals and find real steps forward, all from the comfort of your own home.

With over two decades of dedicated service, I am a seasoned therapist committed to fostering a supportive and empowering environment for my clients. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy, which emphasizes the unique individuality of each person and the importance of their perspective and experiences. My journey began with a solid educational foundation, earning master’s degrees in counseling psychology and social work, equipping me with a deep understanding of the human psyche and the complexities of social dynamics. My formative years included invaluable experience with the Samaritans of New York City, where I embraced the befriending model—a compassionate approach to offering support without judgment. This experience profoundly shaped my therapeutic philosophy and continues to inform my practice today. I believe in the power of empathy, active listening, and the creation of a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings freely. I am privileged to walk alongside my clients on their path to self-discovery and healing.
