Kerri believes that people are inherently valuable, adaptable, and often doing their very best with what they have. Utilizing a person-centered and solution-focused approach, Kerri balances exploring the unique experience of the client with identifying practical tools for empowerment and growth. Her style is collaborative, empathetic, warm, relational, and often fun.

As a neurodivergent person, one of Kerri’s greatest passions is supporting, educating and empowering people with ADHD. Kerri is also passionate about helping clients navigate difficult life transitions, self-esteem issues, relationship concerns, codependency, anxiety, OCD, specific phobias, and depression. Kerri utilizes interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and Exposure and Response Prevention based on client need. 

Kerri’s graduate work includes a specialization in rehabilitation counseling, making her a great fit for clients with co-occurring disabilities or chronic illness. Kerri is experienced in connecting to the community resource network and coordinating care to best support each client’s needs. Kerri is LGBTQIA+ affirming and actively works to create a safe and inclusive space for her clients. Kerri also provides a culturally-sensitive approach; centering the beliefs, values, and contextual experience of each client to the therapeutic work.

In her spare time, Kerri enjoys running, cooking, traveling with her spouse, and crocheting.
