I work alongside you as the expert on your life through active listening, reframing, and proactive support. I can teach you coping tools like visual imagery, breathing techniques, radical acceptance, and ways to reframe unproductive thoughts that don't serve you well.

Kerry undid a lot of the worries I had returning to therapy. I had previous experiences that kept me from trying it again for many years. She took every opportunity to support me in the specific ways I needed to feel supported. Her honesty and transparency about the progress I was making, the treatment itself, and what she felt would suit me or not made me feel safe and seen. I learned several techniques to temper my anxiety, depression, and PTSD that have now become part of my daily life and improved my mental health. I appreciate Kerry’s therapy style and would love to return to her in the future should I find myself needing support once again.
