A Note from Cherie:
Welcome to Twin Lakes Counseling!
I'm so glad you are here.
I strive to create a peaceful, judgment-free space where clients can escape the noise of daily life. This is a place where comparison and competition are set aside, allowing you to be the true expert of your own story, while I remain a compassionate student, learning alongside you.
With an optimistic and down-to-earth approach, I combine compassion, directness, and practical, evidence-based methods to inspire hope, teach valuable skills, and foster healing. My goal is to work together with you, empowering you to recognize and tap into the strength and resilience that already lies within you.
I look forward to helping you begin the chapter of healing in your personal journey.

CLINICAL SUPERVISOR
Pronouns: She/Her
Cherie creates a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore the thoughts and emotions they may have kept hidden or unresolved. She believes that clients are the experts in their own lives, and her role is to listen, learn, and guide them on their journey of self-discovery and healing.
With a foundation in research-backed methodologies, Cherie is passionate about working with individuals facing challenges related to trauma, anxiety, life transitions, attachment wounds, internalized oppression, racial identity, workplace discrimination, and leadership development. While she is particularly devoted to supporting women of color, Cherie values working with adults of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences, offering a multicultural, socially conscious, and integrative therapeutic approach.
Currently working toward her PhD in Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology, Cherie brings a unique perspective to her practice, integrating her research on organizational dynamics and human behavior into both her supervisory and therapeutic work. This academic pursuit enhances her ability to support individuals in navigating workplace challenges, leadership growth, and personal development.
Clients can expect a compassionate, down-to-earth therapist who brings a deep belief in the resilience of the human spirit. Cherie works collaboratively to help clients uncover their inner strengths and empower them to live the life they truly desire.
Cherie holds her Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Liberty University Online with concentrations in Psychology and Counseling as well as a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the same institution.
