Looking Beneath the Surface

Recognize your survival skills as strengths. Learn to use them as superpowers.

Sometimes the behaviors, reactions, or patterns causing problems today began as ways of getting through something difficult.

At Gemini Shores Counseling, we look beyond the symptom and become curious about what’s underneath it. Together, we explore what shaped those responses, recognize the strengths and survival skills already present, and develop healthier ways to use them moving forward.

The goal isn’t to erase your story. It’s to understand it - and decide intentionally what you want to carry with you.

Kerri McKenna, Ed.D., LISW, therapist at Gemini Shores Counseling

Hi, I’m Kerri

I bring 30 years of experience working with children and families who have experienced trauma.

My approach is warm, practical, collaborative, and strength-based. Together, we look beneath the surface, build on what’s working, and create meaningful change.

Two Shores. One Journey.

You can honor where you've been without staying anchored there.

Gemini Shores represents the space between two shores—the person shaped by what has already happened and the person we are intentionally becoming—where we can understand what shaped us, recognize what deserves to be carried forward, and intentionally choose what comes next.
