Breakthroughs are possible!
Hi, I'm Kerry. I specialize in eating disorder therapy and trauma treatment for curious, reflective adults who feel stuck and want to overcome their mental and emotional blocks. Whether you're struggling with anorexia, binge eating, late-diagnosed neurodivergence, or trauma that impacts your relationship with others and yourself, I'm here to support your healing.
I am committed to providing compassionate, curious, and even humorous therapy. Our emotional wounds happen in relationship and heal through relationship. I am here to be your coach, your cheerleader, and your teammate as you discover more self-trust, inner peace, and deeper fulfillment.
