Sherrie focuses on practical conversation and problem-solving. She talks through what is happening now, how it shows up in daily life, and what small steps can reduce overwhelm. She also helps people who struggle with concentration and memory, and those dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability.
Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues and patterns of impulsivity or control that can fuel anger and resentment. She has experience with addiction, dissociation, and mood regulation difficulties such as disruptive mood dysregulation. First responder stress and guilt or shame are also areas she addresses.
Sherrie adapts talks and plans to each person’s situation. She stresses respect and sensitivity in sessions and frames therapy as a collaborative effort. You can expect conversations that aim to clarify problems, develop coping options, and practice alternatives to reactivity.

Practical approaches for online sessions
Sherrie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior and emotion regulation. One approach emphasizes identifying triggers and patterns of reactivity, then practicing alternative responses. This helps with anger flare-ups, impulsivity, and communication problems by giving concrete steps to try between sessions.Another common technique she uses focuses on attention and concentration strategies. These are practical exercises and routines aimed at improving focus and short-term memory, which can reduce frustration and improve day-to-day functioning for people with ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as needed based on results and feedback.
