Across the course of my career, I have worked in a broad range of clinical settings and have experience treating a diversity of patients and diagnoses.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I offer a safe and non-judgemental harm reduction approach to care. We go at your pace always keeping your goals in mind. Your overall health is my priority. I conduct 60-minute initial consultations and 30-minute ongoing follow-up appointments. The ultimate goal is to help you live your best life. Clients often say they feel better after each session and look forward to our next session. Please note that while all visits are currently being conducted virtually, state telemedicine regulations do require you to be located in New York State.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with young professionals for the past 4 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

I had a great conversation with Kerry. Amazing listener who has deep knowledge in her field. I can't recommend her enough.

I can’t recommend Kerry enough!! She was absolutely amazing, warm, intelligent, and deeply reassuring. I saw her for medication support shortly after a traumatic event, and she made space for me quickly, which I truly appreciated. She helped me navigate refilling prescriptions I hadn’t taken in a while, with such clarity, empathy, and care. I left the appointment feeling better than when I came in. If you’re looking for someone who’s both clinically sharp and genuinely kind, Kerry is it!!

Kerry was great! Her friendly and warm demeanor makes you feel at ease and almost like your talking with a friend. She is very well spoken and really listens to you.
