Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kerry, a licensed mental health therapist with a passion for helping individuals heal from trauma, navigate grief, and overcome substance use challenges. I hold an LMHC and I’ve spent over the past 5 years supporting clients through some of life’s most difficult moments.

My approach to therapy

I take a trauma-informed, client-centered approach, offering a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your story, build healthier coping skills, and reconnect with your sense of self. I specialize in trauma recovery, grief work, and substance use treatment, and I believe that meaningful change is possible when you feel supported, heard, and empowered.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to make a change, I’m here to walk alongside you.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you can expect to gain deeper understanding of your experiences and emotions, practical tools to manage symptoms like anxiety, grief, or cravings, and increased resilience to face life’s challenges. You’ll find a safe, nonjudgmental space to be honest and explore your story at your own pace. Over time, many clients report feeling, heard, understood, more empowered, grounded, and hopeful about their future.
