Cheryl’s post-graduate training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy draws upon childhood experiences and trauma that may have resulted in adolescent and adult mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, or other psychological struggles. Cheryl also uses Mindfulness techniques to help her patients tune in to their hunger and fullness and establish mindful eating practices. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral techniques to help patient’s shift their self-destructive behavioral patterns and establish healthy practices. In addition, she explores existential psychological factors that occasionally leaves patients feeling lost in life.
Cheryl believes that the need to eat emotionally is the body’s attempt to take care of itself and fill a void; whether it is in the area of career, relationships, finances, spirituality, or life purpose.

Healing happens when her clients begin to understand the root cause of their disorders.
