Kerri feels privileged to walk beside people along their journey. Over the years, she has developed specialized skills to help young people and adults on their path of recovery from various Eating Disorders. Kerri has been afforded many incredible opportunities to develop her clinical skills, and she has served as a clinical supervisor across various locations and with diverse populations. Kerri studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at the Beck Institute in Philadelphia. She also worked at the Center for Change in Utah where she received training on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and was able to work with those struggling with Eating Disorders at various levels of care and stages of recovery.
Aside from her professional opportunities, Kerri believes that her own life journey has given her a great deal of passion, respect, and preparedness for her current work. She is married with kids, including 1 of which has significant special needs medically and cognitively. They also have a fantastic labradoodle, Beau, who is their son’s retired service dog!
Kerri believes there is nothing more beautiful than watching the stages of change in individuals battling various obstacles in life. Kerri works from a strengths-based perspective, allowing individuals to be the pilot of their own lives, navigating the trenches of different terrain, with the goal of a safe landing.
