Let’s work together to heal and recover.

HI I’M KERIN,

I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU’RE HERE!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in therapy for eating disorders and body image. I enjoy working with motivated clients who are looking to heal their relationship with food and their bodies. My clients seek help to recover from obsessive thoughts about food and appearance and negative behaviors. Most of them have been caught up in the pattern of restricting and bingeing and are feeling frustrated and defeated.

If this is you, you are in the right place. I understand this cycle all too well and am here to tell you that you can change this. You just need the right support and guidance. As a therapist I understand how important it is to feel understood, seen and validated. I can offer a calm, comfortable and nonjudgemental space where you can feel free to explore these issues. I would be honored to walk with you on this journey and to support you every step of the way.

I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to assist my clients with the challenges they face and to facilitate change. I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and truly believe this is the path for your recovery. I have worked with clients for over twenty years and am a passionate advocate of mental health. As a human I believe everyone is capable of change and deserves to feel good. The challenges you have been facing may seem overwhelming at times and that is where I can assist.

Am I the right therapist for you?

I truly believe that you are the expert of you. I am genuinely interested in hearing your story and working together to create lasting change. I am warm , direct and will challenge you at the same time. My clients tell me that they feel I am on their team.

I pride myself on being an authentic and empathetic person and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is sacred. I strive to demonstrate compassion and understanding with my clients which creates a comfortable environment for therapeutic growth.

I have extensive training and education in the field of eating disorders through my work experiences. As a licensed therapist I continue to seek out continuing education and training opportunities to expand my knowledge and help my clients.

My clients describe me as compassionate, sensitive and caring.  They tell me that therapy with me is different as I am down-to-earth and relatable. My approach to therapy is collaborative and engaging. I am not a “blank slate” therapist who just sits and listens. I am in the trenches with you.
