Meet Sheree
(She/Her)
Thanks for checking out my practice! I am 35 years old and a lifelong resident of Virginia. I enjoy learning new crafts to keep my hands busy, and I watch way too much television. I’m a dedicated Steelers fan and a Virginia Tech Hokie, and my favorite pastime is karaoke. I’m often accompanied in sessions by my two cats, Rigby and Ringo, but they try not to be too distracting with their cuteness.
In my therapy practice I take a holistic approach to exploring all the areas of life that may be impacting your mental health symptoms. This can include the parenting style you were raised with, traumatic experiences at any age, generational trauma from ancestors past, your physical health, and the systems you live within. I recognize the ways that oppression, trauma, and lack of privileges can keep people stuck in a state of poor mental health. Therapy with me often involves being validated of these uphill battles, while finding the tools you need to still thrive in those limiting systems.
My goal is to meet you where you’re at in life and find the tools and resources most fitting to your personality, style, and preferences. I also know that we’re human, and even the most experienced therapists won’t match with every person. If it ever feels like my approach is missing something you need, I’m happy to help connect you with a more fitting provider. I offer a free, 20-minute consultation so you can test the waters and gauge your comfort level.

Our Philosophy
-
Lotus Flower.
The lotus flower blooms only in muddy waters. Although rooted in mud, it rises above the water to bloom beautifully and without stain.
-
Two Arrows.
The parable of the second arrow is a Buddhist parable about dealing with suffering more skillfully. The Buddhists say that any time we suffer misfortune, two arrows fly our way. Being struck by an arrow is painful. Being struck by a second arrow (our reaction to the first arrow) is even more painful.

[Adverb ; Adjective]
"In a continuing direction forward; going further rather than coming to an end.”
