WHO I WORK WITH
Does any of this
sound familiar?
You don't have to have the "right" kind of problem to benefit from somatic therapy. If you feel stuck in your body, your mind, or both - there's a way forward.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
You're constantly in your head, bracing for the next thing to go wrong. Your nervous system is stuck in overdrive - and no amount of deep breathing seems to help.
Trauma & Past Wounds
Something happened - maybe long ago, maybe recently - and it's still shaping how you move through the world. You've tried to 'get over it' but your body hasn't caught up yet.
Feeling Numb or Disconnected
You go through the motions but feel strangely far from yourself. Emotions are muted. Life feels flat. You can't quite explain it, but something important feels missing.
Burnout & Chronic Stress
You've been pushing through for so long that your body is finally sending the bill. Exhaustion, tension, difficulty sleeping - your system is asking you to slow down.
You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out. That's what the first session is for.
FOR PARENTS
Does any of this
sound like your child?
Kids and teens experience many of the same struggles as adults - trauma, anxiety, big emotions - it just comes out in different ways. Play therapy meets them where they are.
Big Feelings, Different Faces
Your child may be experiencing the same anxiety, stress, or big emotions adults do - it just shows up differently. Meltdowns, withdrawal, or acting out are often the body's way of asking for help.
Difficulties at School
Trouble focusing, meltdowns at drop-off, avoiding schoolwork, or conflict with peers can all be signs their nervous system needs support — not just a behavior plan.
Feeling Overwhelmed as a Parent
You're doing everything you know how to do, and it still feels hard. You don't have to have all the answers — we'll figure this out together, as a team.
Parents are always part of the process. So the skills we build in session get practiced and reinforced at home too.

MY APPROACH
How the work
actually unfolds.
The Quirky Bodies framework isn't a strict protocol — it's a living, breathing process. We move through it at whatever pace your nervous system needs.

"I came in convinced my anxiety was just 'how I am.' Kerry showed me it was my nervous system trying to protect me — and then gave me the tools to work with it instead of against it."

COMMON QUESTIONS
You have questions.
I have answers.
Still have something on your mind after reading? Reach out — I'm a real human who reads every message.
-
Somatic therapy incorporates awareness of physical sensations, movement, and the body's responses into the healing process. While traditional talk therapy focuses primarily on thoughts and cognition, somatic therapy works with the whole person — recognizing that trauma, stress, and emotional patterns are stored in the body, not just the mind. This can help us access and process experiences that language alone can't always reach.
-
Both! I work with adults and kids as young as 6. The therapeutic process is the same — regulating the nervous system, processing what's stored in the body, and building new patterns — but the delivery looks different for kids. With children, that means play, music, movement, games, scavenger hunts, and art, often built around their own interests (think coping skills based on their favorite video game or memes, or expectations modeled after a sports hero or TV character they love). Parents are always involved so what we build in session can be practiced and reinforced at home.
-
Somatic therapy can be especially helpful if you've tried talk therapy but feel like something is still stuck, if you experience anxiety, trauma responses, or emotional numbness, if you feel disconnected from your body, or if stress shows up physically (tension, chronic pain, digestive issues). That said, our free consultation is the best way to figure out if we're a good fit.
-
Yes - I'm in-network with Medicaid, Aetna & UHC. I also offer a sliding scale fee for clients experiencing financial hardship. During our consultation, we'll discuss fees, insurance, and what makes sense for your situation. I believe financial barriers shouldn't stand between you and healing.
-
Therapy is deeply personal, so there's no one-size-fits-all timeline. Some people find meaningful shifts in a few months; others work with me for a year or more. We'll regularly check in about your progress, what's working, and what feels like enough. You're always in the driver's seat.
-
Yes! All of my services are available via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth to anyone in Colorado. Many clients find that doing somatic or play work from the comfort and safety of their own home actually supports the process — you're already in a space where you can regulate and settle in.
-
The 15-minute free consultation is a casual, pressure-free conversation. We'll talk about what brings you (or your child) to therapy, what you're hoping for, and I'll share a bit about how I work. You get to decide if it feels like a good fit — no obligation, no awkwardness. I want you to feel excited about starting, not anxious.
