About

Having earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Utah and her graduate work at the University of Washington, Cherie brings a rich academic foundation to her practice. Her clinical internship focused on addiction & relationship recovery after addiction in Las Vegas, she holds Gottman certifications alongside completing coaching studies through UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business prior to transitioning to full time coaching, With almost 25 years of combined experience and a focused commitment to coaching for the past 13 years, Cherie is uniquely equipped to support your relationship and career growth.

A lifelong learner, she dedicates 8–9 hours weekly to researching attachment theory and other evolving relationship models. Her approach reflects a deep understanding of the emotional science behind human connection, spanning romantic relationships, family dynamics, friendships, and workplace interactions.

Relationships shape the core of our lives. Even the absence of connection impacts how we move through the world, because society itself is built upon relational foundations. To truly thrive, we must cultivate healthy, reciprocal, and emotionally intelligent relationships.

That’s where Cherie comes in. Her mission is to help you build relationships that are not only successful but transformative.

My Philosophy

I believe that healthy, meaningful relationships are at the heart of a happy and successful life. Yet most of us were never taught how to build or maintain them, not in school, not in church, and often not even at home, no matter how good our role models may have seemed.

While I work with people from all backgrounds and beliefs, my approach is grounded in Christian values such as compassion, integrity, humility, and love. These principles shape how I support my clients, but I never impose religious views or practices. Whether or not faith is important to you, you’ll find a space here that respects your journey and honors your values.

I don’t believe in teaching silly or manipulative tricks that might have short term gains, yet do not build a foundation for long term success. I focus on giving you the tools necessary to build lasting relationships without pretending to be someone you are not. I keep my practice intentionally small so I can give each client the time, attention, and support they need to truly grow. This is why I often have a waitlist.

I set high expectations for myself and for you because real transformation takes effort, commitment, and accountability. You can expect honest feedback, consistent follow-up, and homework that stretches you. The process isn’t easy, but I believe in your ability to rise to the challenge, and I promise you that your hard work will be worth it.

My Clients

Success comes from consistent, focused effort, and that’s exactly what I help my clients achieve. Most of the people I work with meet with me every other week, and our time together is designed to be purposeful and efficient. My mission is to empower as many people as I can, which means I’m not here to keep you coming back forever. On average, clients work with me for a several months not years. Many come to me with the dream of building a strong, lasting marriage and starting a family. One of the greatest joys in my work is receiving a wedding invitation from a soon-to-be former client. It’s the most beautiful kind of graduation.
