“Cheri is a very experienced therapist who engages readily with her clients, whether they be children or adults. I am impressed with her ability to help children communicate their experience and feelings through the use of sand tray and play therapy. Cheri helped develop our children's bereavement camp (Camp Erin), she was responsible for organizing, planning, and facilitating the camp while maintaining a clinical focus for all the activities. It was very successful and thrives as a resource for grieving children in the community.”
Sandy Teague-Cox, LCSW, Hospice Bereavement Social Worker
“As a volunteer at The Dougy Center, Cheri demonstrated, over and over, her natural skill for creating a safe space for people to express themselves after a death in their family. With authenticity and an inviting spirit, Cheri gracefully connects with children, teens, and adults dealing with the tumultuous impacts of grief.”

“I worked closely with Cheri when she worked at Oregon Health & Science University. Cheri continues to impress me as one of the most sincere and caring professionals I have ever worked with. She has amazing gifts and has developed sophisticated tools to assist both children and adults in a specialized practice.
