I see that therapy can improve one’s ability to manage overwhelming emotions and stressors unique to each individual. I value relationships and meeting individuals where they are. My focus is on using your strengths and working together to identify healthy coping mechanisms and creating a strong support system in order to help you feel empowered to live your best life. I am passionate about working with Gen Z and Millennial clients. My approach to therapy is to tailor and personalize treatment depending on your own goals and needs.

I draw from evidence based practices in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, Trauma Informed practices all while using a strength based approach.

My belief is that the client is the expert on his or her circumstances and that my job as a therapist, is not to dictate treatment, but to shape the process using the values, desires and needs of my clients while prioritizing our relationship. I look forward to building a relationship and working together to help you feel happier and empowered!

Hi! My name is Kate and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 22 years. I believe that everyone is capable of positive change and am appreciative to help individuals gain that self-awareness. I utilize the power of mindfulness to help clients take back their power. I specialize in helping adults that are ages 25+.

My intention is to offer a non-judgmental space to talk through past and present feelings and situations that may be uncomfortable, painful, stressful or overwhelming. I most often work with those who feel stuck due to anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, Autism, grief/loss or folks wanting to engage in identity exploration. Reaching out for and participating in therapy may seem daunting; however, part of my role is to help work through any uneasiness or apprehension. ​

I primarily utilize somatic healing practices such as Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices, narrative therapy, strengths based and motivational interviewing. These modalities can be personalized to implement new patterns that cultivate the mind/body connection while building a better understanding of your inner-world. Utilizing a trauma-informed and culturally competent lens, I guide my clients in a compassionate and client-centered manner.

My therapy style is centered on warmth, empathy, and inclusivity. Drawing from my extensive experience working with diverse populations, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone feels heard, valued, and understood. Everyone brings unique experiences, and my goal is to ensure that our work together honors your cultural, spiritual, and personal life story.
