Express your mess, don't hide it.
Meet Kerry
I got into this work after doing a lot of healing of my own — including discovering my own late Autism diagnosis while working in the eating disorder field.
Now I work with adults who are done white-knuckling their way through life: often the ones who understood their own patterns intellectually long before their body caught up — and who've been told that they're too capable for this to be as hard as it is for them.
My approach is experiential and body-based. I use IFS and Brainspotting to get people unstuck. Messiness isn't just allowed here, it's where the real work happens. I'm not going to ask you to be more put-together than you are. I'd rather you weren't.
I'm not a therapist who just sits there and nods. I'll laugh with you, cry with you, and stay curious and real so you can be too. Sessions may look different from what you've seen before but always a two-way process, not a monologue you deliver while I take notes. I provide accountability with love and compassion.
I practice via telehealth across California through The Healing Journey Counseling.
You've been holding it together long enough.
Let's try something different!

The lotus is a symbol of rebirth and resilience. I chose it for my logo as a reminder that beautiful life can grow from the mess.
What are your fees?
Individual sessions (50 min) are $175.
Family sessions (80 min) are $255. Sessions are longer to allow all parties to have input.
I offer limited sliding scale slots. Please contact me to discuss availability and need.
Can I use my insurance?
Yes, I am in network with Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross, Carelon, Providence and Quest. If you have other insurance, I can provide a superbill for you to submit for out of network benefits.
How do virtual sessions work?
Virtual sessions are conducted like a Zoom meeting but on a HIPAA compliant platform.
It is recommended that are you in a quiet, private space so that you have enough comfort to speak freely. Using earbuds or a headset is another way to increase your privacy by making my part of the conversation less public.
You can log into your session from anywhere - home, work or on vacation - as long as you are in the state of California.
