Dr. Sherk has a highly comprehensive approach to mental health treatment based on mindfulness and positive self expression.

I hold a master's degree in communications disorders and current state and national licenses as a Speech-Language Pathologist. I have been practicing for 9 years and specialize in pediatric speech therapy. I believe the ability to communicate is a human right and helping people achieve functional communication greatly improves the quality of life.

As a speech-language pathologist I understand and apply different therapy techniques and theories to each individual's personalized therapy plan and sessions. I hope to create a fun and productive session each time a client is seen that will help them gain the skills necessary to communicate and participate in the community.
