(ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS IN-PERSON AND VIRTUALLY)

Hi, I’m Kerri. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker who is passionate about supporting children, teens, and their families. Growing up today comes with many pressures, and I work closely with adolescents who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or the everyday challenges of school, friendships, and family life.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each child. I use evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and strengths-based strategies to help young people better understand their feelings, build coping skills, and gain confidence in themselves.

I believe every child and teen deserves a safe, supportive space where they feel heard and valued. My goal is to walk alongside families, helping adolescents discover their strengths and develop the tools they need to thrive both now and as they grow. While my main focus is with children and teens, I also provide care for adults who may be navigating their own challenges.

Some of the areas I specialize in include:

  • Children, Teen & Family Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT)

  • Coping Skills

  • Anxiety & Depression

  • Self-Esteem

  • Life Challenges
