Everyone has a story. We all struggle and experience hardship and loss, but many do so alone. Sometimes we choose to be private about our struggles and other times we reach out to others- it is a choice we make. It is always validating to realize that we are not alone in our challenges.

Kerri’s journey has been both incredibly beautiful and paralyzingly painful. Her lived and professional experiences continue to inspire and motivate her passion for emotional well-being.

Kerri is elated to be working with youth and families side by side, coaching, encouraging, and supporting them as they build their emotional muscles from the inside out.

She is the Co-Founder of Connect Be Well, an innovative grassroots organization that creates high-impact solutions to identify systematic challenges in student/family well-being. Her expertise is building programs to help strengthen social and emotional well-being for all to learn and thrive. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Human Development from Cal Poly, a Certified Professional Coach, Mental Health Educator, Certified Mediator, and an entrepreneur doing meaningful work.

But most importantly, she treasures being a work in progress, perfectly imperfect mom of three, human, and friend. She is a recovering people pleaser and perfectionist.

Kerri is a lover of family, friends, coffee, and conversation, a seeker of knowledge, and a researcher of life. She strives for balance, craves adventure, runs on love, and has a passion for helping others make the world a better place. She is passionate about providing trust, hope, and inspiration.
