My name is Kerry and I help people live in harmony with who and how they want to be. Vibrant health is my passion. I entered the health and wellness field in the mid-90’s and never left. I’m trained in experiential, psychodynamic, and somatic psychotherapy. Additionally, I have training in a variety of movement modalities. Guiding people to age with strength, grace and ease is what lights me up.

This website is full of articles that reflect my scope of practice. I encourage you to check them out. If you do, you’ll see that I utilize the body to free the mind. I call my integrative approach Mindful Embodied Therapy. It’s a mosaic of my studies of mind, body and soul.

Mindful, embodied work addresses a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. It is a powerful methodology to self-awareness, growth and transformation. Blending my years as a bodyworker with my training as a clinical therapist lends flexibility and flow to the work.

Social Disclosure

For those who have followed me, you know I have an ambivalent relationship with technology. The medium is mind-blowingly, life-changing. And, like all addictions, it didn’t take long for it to have control over me.

Love in Action

In August, 1968, the country was still reeling from the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. (four months earlier) and the race riots that followed. Nightly news showed burning cities, radicals and reactionaries snarling at each other across the cultural divide. A brand new children’s show out of Pittsburgh, which had gone national the previous year, took a different approach.
