Welcome. I’m Kerry (ki/kin). I use these pronouns as an acknowledgment of my animistic framework and my relationship to the interconnected living world. I am a licensed mental health counselor who advocates for social and cosmic justice. I am also a mother and community member. I bring my full humanity into this work, alongside training, discernment, and deep respect for each person’s path.
I work with adults and couples who are navigating life transitions, relational challenges, and moments when something essential is asking to change. Many people come to therapy feeling unmoored or tired of repeating familiar patterns. Therapy can become a place to slow down, tell the truth, and begin choosing oneself more fully. Over time, the therapeutic process can illuminate where people may have abandoned their own truth and support them in reconnecting with the understanding that they matter and are worthy.
Much of my work centers on grief, including death, divorce, aging, identity shifts, changes in role or relationship, and the loss of imagined futures. I do not see grief as something to “get over,” but as a natural human process that, when tended with care, can open space for meaning, clarity, and renewed agency. Grief is often a doorway—an entry point into deeper truth, reorientation, and choice. In couples work, grief frequently shows up relationally as unmet longings, ruptures, or changes in shared identity, and I help partners slow down, listen differently, and make sense of what is happening between them.
My therapeutic approach is relational and includes body-centered awareness, nervous system regulation, and present-moment attunement. My work is informed by study and participation in Compassionate Inquiry, developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, with its emphasis on trauma, embodiment, and compassionate self-inquiry. My therapeutic framework is multi-faceted, with an orientation toward integrating body, mind, and spirit. I am a Reiki Master and Level II Biomagnetism practitioner. While my psychotherapy practice is grounded in clinical care, this background supports a nuanced sensitivity to how stress, trauma, and emotion are held in the body.
I work from a grounded, present-centered lens that recognizes how personal suffering is shaped not only by individual experience, but also by broader systemic and cultural forces. I have extensive experience supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and offer an affirming, respectful space to explore identity, relationships, belonging, and change. I work with clients across a wide range of sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions, and I strive to offer a socially aware, inclusive space that acknowledges widespread systemic wounding while honoring each person’s lived experience and resilience. My style is collaborative, direct, and attuned, with sensitivity to each client’s pace and capacity.
I am wholeheartedly committed to this work and approach each person’s story with humility and respect as they explore change, loss, and growth—often resulting in a greater sense of liberation and self-trust. I see myself as a work in progress, continually shaped by my own lived experience. Honoring my rhythms and continually cultivating meaning allows me to offer that presence back to my clients. As Ram Dass wrote, we are all just walking each other home.
Outside of the therapy room, I find grounding and renewal through time in nature—wandering in the forest, swimming in the ocean, cooking, making art, and sharing traditions and everyday life with my teenage daughter. I continue to study astrology and anthroposophy as reflective frameworks that deepen my relationship to meaning, rhythm, and the cycles of life.
