Sheri’s Approach

Sheri’s career in the helping profession began in 2012 when she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Her early work focused on nephrology and the complexity of chronic disease. It quickly became clear to her that chronic disease and mental health often co-exist, and her passion shifted toward mental health.

After working in various community mental health and addictions roles, Sheri began to evaluate her experience within the healthcare system. She saw firsthand the limitations of solution-focused approaches and standard Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and she wanted to help people on a deeper level. This led her to pursue a Master’s in Counselling Psychology.

While studying, she developed a strong passion for EMDR. This approach allows her to address trauma more deeply and support clients in achieving lasting changes and symptom reduction. The benefits of EMDR extend beyond PTSD and trauma.

Sheri is a cisgender (she/her) status First Nations woman from the Stó:lō Nation. She was born and raised in Williams Lake and feels proud to share the beauty of the Cariboo with her family. Outside of her professional role, she enjoys camping with her husband and children, hiking with the dogs, and reading. She celebrates and encourages diversity and warmly welcomes members of the LGBTQIA2S communities.

What Clients Often Experience

Many clients come to Sheri feeling the lasting effects of trauma, chronic pain, or intergenerational experiences that have been difficult to shift with traditional approaches. Some are seeking deeper healing, while others want a therapist who understands both the body and the mind. Clients often leave therapy feeling lighter, more connected to themselves, and better able to experience lasting change and symptom relief.
