Introduction
I am licensed to practice in the State of Missouri. If you are seeking therapy via phone or video sessions, please note that you must reside within Missouri. I enjoy offering in person sessions as well. If you’re exploring therapy, chances are you’re looking for a safe, supportive space where you can gain clarity and insight into your current challenges. My goal is to help you shift your perspective, discover new ways of coping, and provide you with tools to move forward in a healthy, empowered way. I’m especially passionate about making high-quality counseling services accessible to individuals and families in rural Missouri—including my hometown of Warsaw. Whether you’re located in Kansas City or a smaller town across the state, I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant sessions via phone or video to meet you where you are. Being a therapist is more than a job—it’s a privilege. I see humanity at both its most vulnerable and its most resilient. Everyone who comes to therapy has a unique story to share, and I believe that story deserves to be heard with compassion and care. I find great joy in helping people process their experiences, own their narratives, and move toward more satisfying, fulfilling lives. Since 2013, I’ve been honored to walk alongside my clients on their healing journeys. Many have told me they feel truly heard, understood, and supported in our sessions. There’s no greater reward than seeing a client finish therapy with renewed strength—and knowing they can return at any point if life brings new challenges. ⸻

Cheryl has been a wonderful counselor. Combining her knowledgable experience with her openness and understanding, she has helped me cope with both my recent problems with grief and my long-term issues. I feel understood and respected, and because of Cheryl I now have a new way of framing my perspective and a set of tools for personal situations. I would recommend her to anyone seeking quality counseling.

I should have started with Thrive Counseling years ago. It's been an amazing journey so far and she has helped me discover things about myself that have been holding back the relationships I have with others - and myself.

As a lifelong seeker of truth, I have experienced several different counseling relationships. Finding Cheryl has been a true blessing for both my wife and me. She has been a life-saving presence in our lives. She has created an incredibly safe space for us to begin a journey to understanding, healing and a stronger bond of love. I highly recommend working with her. It will change your life.
