Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Orem, UT

I am at my best when I am a guide for others. I start by listening and developing understanding of who you are, what you value, and where you struggle. I will help you to find your way back to yourself and develop the trust you need in yourself to live your best life. I use an approach that is very collaborative offering tools and resources, but assisting you to choose your own direction.

We all struggle at times, especially in the way we live these days. I can help you understand how and why you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and develop strategies to move through this to a happier, more grounded, and more confident version of yourself.

Hi! I'm Kerry. I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with additional specialized certification in Perinatal Mental Health. I am especially interested in maternal mental health but I also enjoy working with adults (18+) with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and PTSD.

I received my B.A. in Psychology from Yale University and my Master's in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and bilingual (Mandarin-English) clinician with over 14 years of clinical experience in settings such as substance use treatment centers, outpatient mental health clinics, and in-home therapy. I’ve supported individuals and families navigating emotional challenges, trauma, and relationship difficulties—both with others and within themselves. I strive to create a space where healing feels possible, hope is restored, and resilience can grow.

I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I approach therapy as a collaborator. My method is client-centered and humanistic. I aim to accompany my clients in achieving the goals brought into the therapeutic environment with openness, empathy, and compassion. Creating goals in small steps is vital for progress and change. Identifying insecure attachment and dysfunctional patterns will lead to lasting change. My clients can learn to recognize unhealthy cycles and gain a deeper understanding of their attachment styles.

Currently, I do not provide therapy for couples or minors.
