Kercell has been listening to love stories for over a decade—first as a community mental health advocate, now as a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). But here's what he's learned: the best stories aren't the ones without struggle; they're the ones where people decide to write a different ending.

His approach to therapy feels more like having a conversation with someone who really gets it. Using narrative therapy, he helps couples look at their story—not to judge it, but to see where they want the plot to go next. It's culturally responsive work that meets people exactly where they are, because healing should feel affirming, not alienating.

When he's not in therapy rooms, you'll find him curating experiences for Before You Let Go that prove love and growth can happen anywhere—even on a dance floor. He's the kind of person who can talk R&B deep cuts, recommend the best Sacramento spots, and get completely lost in a good mystery series. Whether he's facilitating a therapy session or hosting a couples event, Kercell shows up believing that love—when given the right space and intention—has the power to transform everything.
