As a clinician, Sherry believes a sense of belonging and a compassionate relationship with oneself and others are the keys to wellness. She works with her clients across diverse socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds and abilities to facilitate growth, direction, and purpose. She is especially devoted to working with clients through loss, grief, and mourning.
