Hello and welcome! My name is Kate, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, alcohol use disorder, and life transitions. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build insight, and develop meaningful coping strategies. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, I’m here to support you on your journey.
My counseling approach is grounded in a blend of CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based practices. I take a strengths‐based, non‐directive stance, meaning this is your space and you set the direction for what we work on. I’m here to guide, support, and help keep us focused on what matters most to you.
Clients often describe me as a warm, validating, and deeply attentive listener—someone they feel comfortable opening up to. While I prioritize creating a safe and accepting environment, I also offer gentle challenge and positive confrontation when it supports your growth.
I enjoy helping clients move toward meaningful future goals while remaining mindful of how the present is shaped by past experiences. My aim is to support you in gaining clarity, building skills, and creating lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
We’ll start in a relaxed, supportive space where your needs and goals come first. Together, we’ll clarify your objectives, explore possible directions, and begin crafting a plan that fits you. By the end of our session, you’ll leave with greater clarity and a sense of purpose for the steps ahead.
