In the session, Sherika takes her time establishing the therapeutic relationship, listening to each individual’s concerns, symptoms, and struggles. Her goal is to spread the love so her patients’ hearts can be touched by insight and change. Sherika enjoys being of service to others and wants to help individuals connect to their best selves as they navigate through life.

Sherika specializes in applying a range of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, meditation, dialectical-behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy,  motivational interviewing, strengths-based, and mindfulness to address symptoms. She helps each patient explore their thoughts, feelings, habits, and experiences to gain deeper insight into their strengths and areas of improvement so each patient can reach their fullest potential. Sherika is experienced in treating a variety of mental health issues, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and more. She has been treating patients since 2013. In her spare time, Sherika loves attending comedy shows, as it’s the only place on Earth where people have a safe place to confess their truth, and honesty is welcomed with acceptance. She also enjoys writing calligraphy, attending festivals, hiking, traveling, and getting lost in the woods. Sherika enjoys working with SohoMD because of the autonomous environment, which allows each provider to be themselves and support their patients in their own space.
