Are intense reactions making it harder to develop and maintain relationships? Are you feeling stuck and unable to find your place in life? I have been there; you do not have to do it alone. I draw insights from my lived experiences as an immigrant and survivor/thriver of life and integrate inner knowing, compassion, and neuroscience to create spaces for relief, healing, and transformation. My passion is journeying with women/gender-diverse adults and immigrants who have experienced relational trauma, leading to addictions, perfectionism, compulsions & feelings of sadness, depression, anxiety or anger.

Hi, I’m Kate. I help individuals, couples and families to grow, make improvements and overcome challenges in their lives. Getting support can help deepen your understanding of yourself and others in your life. Together we will explore parts of your inner self or relationship, noticing areas that assist you as well as ones that you may want to update or leave behind. I strive to create a space that is warm, genuine and encouraging. I am here to listen, help you reflect, and at times, challenge you to grow. I want your time with me to be effective and I aim to have you leave each session with a new thought, perspective or tool.

Do you find yourself to be very self-critical and worried about what other people think of you? You’re someone who puts yourself second to make sure other people are happy, but still find yourself anxious, feeling burnout, and thinking you're not “good enough”. You may be worried to change because you’re scared your friends and loved ones will stop liking you. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to set boundaries with those around you. You’re ready to stop ruminating on negative thoughts. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself and embrace your strengths and weaknesses. I want to help you get there.

I’m here for the parents who aren't ready to give up hope, and for the teens and young adults who are clinging to life. Whether because of trauma, of neurodivergence (ADHD/ADD) or the need for a more gender-affirming world, life has been rocky. It’s been difficult to connect, sleep has been elusive, panic has been setting in and the future seems sort of bleak. At least that’s how it’s been, at least for right now. So you're looking for a therapist who gets it: your gender identity, your life experience and your inner knowing matter.

Conflicts in relationships are inevitable! It’s how we adapt & overcome them that makes the difference. These conflicts can be circumstantial or rooted in anxieties from the past and may not look like your typical conflict. Perhaps you find yourself experiencing the same anxious thoughts or maybe you're stuck in the same negative patterns that you can't seem to break as a couple. Interpersonal and internal conflict can leave us feeling stuck, confused, stressed, overwhelmed, or depressed. Most importantly, recognizing that fear is an emotion we all experience and discovering how fear operates for you is okay to explore.

I've worked for over 18 years with survivors of trauma and vicarious trauma - sexual, physical, emotional, mental and or neglect. Often these traumatic injuries appear in life as anxiety, depression, addictions, flashbacks, unhealthy relationships or chronic pain. I attend with safety and empathy to these patterns and habits that appear in belief systems and emotions, and to the important role the body plays in responding to, storing and repairing harm. I specialize in including mindful attention to the body with talk therapy to help clients unlock the painful legacy of trauma.

Opening up is difficult. Often we're told to deal with it, or that things will get better. Maybe you’re going through a transition, feeling overwhelmed, tired, or stuck. Maybe you’ve been feeling an emotion you’ve been told you’re not supposed to feel. Navigating these conflicting thoughts and feelings can be a lot to manage, but you do not have to manage them alone. Maybe you feel like your problems are too big or too small. Maybe you feel like something is just a passing thought and is not worth bringing up. When working with me, nothing is off the table – if it’s important to you, then it is important to me.
