01 · Who Kerri works with
Kerri lists 5 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Kerri chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Kerri's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
From a young age, I’ve been deeply empathetic-drawn to people’s stories and attuned to their pain. What once felt like a tender personality trait has become a guiding force in my work. I believe every person holds inherent dignity and worth, regardless of their experiences, choices, or circumstances. This belief is the foundation of how I show up as a therapist: with compassion, curiosity, and respect.
My journey into the counseling field was encouraged by my husband, who saw how naturally I connected with others. I completed my undergraduate degree in Marketing at East Central University and went on to earn a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Oklahoma. I am currently pursuing an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in Marriage and Family Counseling.
I specialize in couples therapy, supporting partners as they navigate challenges with communication, trust, intimacy, and emotional connection. Whether you're feeling stuck, hurting, or simply wanting to grow closer, I offer a space where both individuals can feel seen, heard, and understood. My approach focuses on helping couples build deeper understanding, develop practical tools, and reconnect with what matters most to them.
In every session-whether with individuals or couples-my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to grow. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to walk through it alone.
I also believe therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. I hold healing in a sacred light, but I also appreciate the value of humor. Being able to feel free in therapy-even when facing pain-is the heart of Eremos. It’s brave to come, but many clients find it’s also a place to enjoy.
Outside the therapy room, I love being married and am grateful for the fullness of life with our five children. These days, you’ll likely find me enjoying a good thriller TV series over a movie-especially if it’s a whodunit. I’d love to say I grow my own food and live in the outdoors, but let’s be honest-my life is mostly made up of ordinary moments, full hands, and small, sacred acts of courage.
Reality for me isn’t glamorous, but it’s good. And it’s in the everyday that growth, connection, and healing often begin.

03 · What happens next
Kerri practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Kerri's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Kerri at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Kerri is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Kerri.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
