Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Keri! I’m a Clinical Social Worker, but you might also call me a therapist, doula of complicated feelings, professional question-asker or parenting book translator. I’m also a yoga teacher, parent, spouse, semi-committed runner, voracious reader and life-long curiosity seeker.


I help parents break generational cycles and feel better so they can build sustainable relationships with themselves, their kids and their communities.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have lots of experience helping people find relief from anxiety and shame-related challenges.


I’m extensively trained in Trauma-Focused and Trauma-Sensitive work and am rostered to provide Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I’ve also been extensively trained in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Theraplay. I have completed trainings and am one exam away from certification in perinatal mental health.

What you can expect from our first session

I help parents recover from anxiety and shame, heal from traumatic experiences, and create sustainable patterns for life-long health that they can then pass on and model for their children. Together, we can change generational cycles. Healthy parents make healthy families.
