Are you...

Tired of feeling overwhelmed with the day-to-day tasks and the ongoing struggle to squeeze in rest, leisure, and exercise for yourself?

I see you. You are not alone.

Are you fed up with doubting or hating yourself and/or having a poor relationship with food and your body?

It doesn’t have to be this way. I have some very clear ways to help you get out of the self-hate and control cycle that involves disordered eating and negative body image.
Are you struggling to feel joy in your life and in your relationships because all you are doing is surviving and not thriving?

Pull up a chair and let’s share a cup of hot coffee/tea together. At BASK, we will dive into ways that can help you feel more energized and have more positive relationships 
(starting with yourself).

Hello, I'm Kerry.

Not only am I a licensed clinical psychologist, wife, lifestyle/wellness enthusiast, but I run a busy household and am a parent of two kiddos children with special strengths and challenges, and like you, I am in the trenches of modern living that gets chaotic.
I created BASK because the common thread in my clients’ lives and my own is that when you truly embody taking care of yourself, across all spheres of wellness, you can give your best self to others and your own work and passion. How does that sound?

BASK is your Answer to Life Overwhelm and 
All Healthy Relationships 
(yourself, your body, food, and others)

Still have questions?
Ask me!

Wait. You have questions. 
I don't blame you one bit!

The Self-Care Buzz is Everywhere. 
Kerry, How is BASK Different?
This question is so important. I believe that every single teen and adult can benefit from raising their self-care game. I don't see self-care as just hot epsom salt baths, yummy dark chocolate (not the chocolate candy crap), and a great book. Boy, do I love all of those things. BASK is a roadmap for life as it is a comprehensive philosophy to support your healthy relationships with yourself, food, body, and others. I wish I had this information well before my adult years. Nevertheless, it is never too late to make BASK a priority and this is why I am excited to share it with you.
I See You Because I Have Been 
There and I Am Here.
Five years into parenthood (with a 5 year-old and 1 1/2 year-old) and soon after my family and I moved to Colorado for my husband's job, I was unemployed for the first time in my adult life and was busy settling everyone into our new routine. The transition was relatively smooth, but not for everyone. My husband and I were struggling with our oldest who was not a happy camper and let us know it. She left the only home and school she had ever known and had to start all over. One of her strengths is her adaptability with new settings. Also, sadly, she hasn't had a choice. I was overwhelmed, beyond irritable, and constantly feeling like I was not enough. When there was too much tension at home, I decided that something had to change. I reached out, started working with a therapist and got our daughter some help too. Through therapy, I have learned about my expectations for myself and how to be kinder and gentler to myself. I learned the power of "and". For example, we can all be doing our best AND do better.
Pain Points of Adulting and Parenthood
(Ahh. Adulting. It takes on a life of its own doesn't it? No one ever prepared us for this! ;) Whether you are a parent or just learning how to adult, BASK is for you.) Parenting children is one of our greatest honors and challenges and parenting children with high special needs takes it to a different orbit. (When we are learning to step more into adult responsibilities,) our negative self-talk is a beast. Isn't it? It makes you feel like you are not good enough and that you are never going to get it all done. Overwhelm and stress are damaging your sense of self, your relationships, and your health.

How do you even fit in taking care of yourself when you have got meals to plan and cook, (exams to study for, papers to write), finances to review, phone calls and emails to make, doctors and school officials to chat with, laundry, laundry, and more laundry to do, thank you letters to write, crap from the weekend to put away, dirty dishes, appointments to schedule and or drive to, etc., work to catch up on, and maybe even a shower. 

When you are so overwhelmed, you are yelling at your partner, your kids, your friends, or maybe even your neighbor (Well. maybe not aloud). Inside you feel so sad and worthless and doubt your every move. Your brain can only handle so many details and tasks. You feel out of control, completely wiped out, and have zero left to give. Your idea of the perfect day is a momcation or staying overnight at a hotel all by yourself, eating your favorite foods and catching up on the Bachelor. Remember the Calgon ad, "Calgon, take me away!" I used to think what in the holy hell is this? Now, flashforward to momhood. Not a whole lot has changed on the Mom Stress front.

Now imagine...

Let's look. at your new path of:
Self acceptance
More peace and less chaos
More time for joy, freedom and relaxation
Food freedom
Self-compassion
Revived relationships with the people who love you and you love the most
More energy to pursue your dreams.

My purpose at BASK...

is to help you improve your relationships with yourself (mind, food, and body) and your partner and your kids and many more and to help you feel more empowered every step of the way.
