Hi, I'm Kerri.
I've worked in mental health for more than 15 years, and I've practiced EMDR for more than 8 of them. Most of my work is with adults dealing with trauma, anxiety, or depression, often while something big is changing in their life. I see clients all over Colorado by video.
Why I do this work
I know what it's like when life doesn't go to plan.
Most people go through a stretch where their life stops looking the way they expected. What I've learned, personally and professionally, is that people in that spot aren't broken. Usually they're carrying too much on their own.
I know the clinical side of this work well. I also know what it's like from the inside, and I believe that what feels stuck right now can change.
What working with me is like
You don't need to show up with the right words or a plan. It's fine to start with "I'm not sure where to begin."
I'm fairly direct. If I notice a pattern, I'll tell you, and we'll talk about it. I also won't push you into anything before you're ready. You set the pace.
Why I use EMDR
I've practiced EMDR for more than 8 years, and it's the approach I use most. It often helps when talking about something hasn't changed how it feels.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain finish processing experiences that got stuck. I use it a lot for trauma and anxiety, and for old pain that a big life change has brought back up.
- You don't have to tell me everything.EMDR works without going through every detail of what happened.
- It's often quicker than people expect.Many people notice a difference sooner than they thought they would.
Other approaches I use
- CBT
- DBT
- Mindfulness
- Attachment-based
- Solution-focused
When I'm not in session
I'm married and have two young kids, so I know how much early parenthood turns everything upside down. Outside of work, you'll usually find me hiking or skiing.
Let's see if we're a good fit
Start with a free 15-minute phone call. Ask me anything, and see if talking to me feels right.
