Hi, I’m Kerry. I grew up as a middle child in Buffalo, New York, and later graduated from Yale University with a B.A. in psychology. At Yale, I served as captain of the Varsity Women’s Lacrosse team. I received my J.D. from Pepperdine Law School and obtained my certificate in trauma studies from the International Trauma Studies Program in New York City. I’ve worked with at-risk populations in Thailand, Rwanda, Uganda, Nigeria, and Armenia. I also completed a six-week mindfulness course at the Mindfulness Awareness Research Center at UCLA, and am currently writing a book on “Enoughness: The Struggle to Feel Complete as We Are.” I enjoy hazelnut coffee, long dinners, and anything vintage.

Hi, my name is Mel. Hailing from North Caldwell, NJ, I received my B.A. in Communications with a minor in English from UPenn and was a dancer, choreographer, and chairwoman for the Penn Dance Company. I worked in the entertainment industry and then transitioned into mental health. I completed my M.A. in Creative Arts Therapy from Drexel University, and have experience with all types of people including children, adolescents, and adults with autism, chronic and persistent illness, substance abuse, behavioral issues, and those seeking to reach their maximum potential. I also lived in Israel where I facilitated a cross-cultural peace initiative and mentored youth. I enjoy live music, laughing, and bold colors. I aspire to be the next Oprah Winfrey one heart string at a time.
