I specialize in supporting individuals who face depression, anxiety, mood/behavioral issues, and trauma. My expertise lies in working with survivors of sexual trauma and abuse, offering compassionate guidance and utilizing evidence-based therapies such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help process and overcome past barriers. Additionally, as an Addictions Specialist, I am committed to assisting those navigating substance use and recovery.

The client is the center of any counseling. Being motivated and having feelings that someone cares is the first key to overcoming addiction. Family support is as equally important because substance addiction is about support. A client's needs, his or her goals are vital to my operation. Healing is about the whole of an individual.

I am a board certified clinical neuropsychologist practicing in a private practice setting.

I also complete psychological evaluations for ADHD, learning disorders, and behavioral disorders.

I believe the most important relationship you have in your life is with yourself. We spend so much time and energy on other people, but it is just as important to put that same energy back into your own wellbeing. Often people find themselves at a point where they feel stuck or frustrated about their relationships, careers, families and even themselves. During those times, it can be immensely helpful to allow someone else to help us reflect and move forward. Today’s world can be very stressful, and I am honored to help people navigate the struggles of balancing all of life’s challenges.

Do you lack motivation? Or do you feel like you need help getting “unstuck”? Do you feel unsure of how to cope with your past trauma and current life stressors? If these questions resonate with you, I think that it may be time to consider therapy. I enjoy collaborating with my clients by trying to find solutions to their trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety in the same way you connect the pieces of a puzzle.

"Only in an open non judgmental space can we acknowledge what we are feeling. Only in an open space where we're not caught up in our own version of reality can we see and hear and feel who others really are, which allows us to be with them and communicate with them properly." This quote by Pema Chodron, an American Buddhist Nun expresses the atmosphere I hope to create for clients seeking counseling services from me. For more than 30 years I have attempted to provide, through a collaborative dialogue services that will improve each clients quality of life.

Seeking professional help is an important step. The task of finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. Finding someone with whom you have a genuine connection is paramount to healing and growth.

I strive to infuse authenticity & "realness" into my work with clients and to create an environment where they are comfortable doing the same.

Whether you are adjusting to life as a college student, somewhere along the journey of pregnancy and motherhood, or seeking additional support for your children, it is my goal to focus on the relationship as the foundation for the counseling process.

I approach therapy from a person-centered perspective, focusing on your individual needs and goals.

Currently Not Accepting New Clients. Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, or going through some major life changes? Maybe you've tried talking to a family member or close friend about what's going on but at the end of the day you still feel lost, empty, stuck, or sitting with some pretty painful feelings. Seeking therapy takes courage and you've just taken the first step. Therapy is a safe place to talk about life's challenges.

Life often does not turn out as hoped for or expected. It can be difficult to navigate amidst feelings of isolation, sadness, anxiety, and grief. Relationships often suffer as a result of life stressors and the baggage we all bring into them from our own experiences. People want to feel lighter, healthier, and happier which can be achieved through a variety of tools and interventions. Through a combination of both experiential and cognitive approaches, therapy can help to ease the weight of tough times and instill hope and change.

Hi, my name is Kate and I want to help you meet your goals. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed and stuck, anxious or depressed things can change.

As humans, we sometimes find ourselves stuck. We might feel stuck in painful circumstances and relationships, in old and outdated patterns of behaviors, or with narratives that just don't feel true to us anymore. This is part of what it means to be human, and yet, being human also implies an innate potential for evolution and growth. Together, grounded and curious, I work with my clients to get in touch with the present moment, determine what really, truly matters to them, and identify how to move forward in life in a meaningful and intentional way.

My goal is to facilitate your natural capacity to heal, grow and change. I work with folks that have mental health diagnoses like PTSD, anxiety, or depression, more general life concerns like transitions, relationship issues and loss, or difficulties in recovery from addiction or active substance use or other compulsive behavior(s). I also work with people that experienced difficulty in early childhood in addition to trauma, which often presents as Complex PTSD. I believe that many of the issues that bring us to therapy are interpersonal and bring special attention to the unique power of relational process in therapy.

There are two important days in your life; the day you were born and the day that you find out why. I feel that this quote popularized by Author Mark Twain has so much relevance in approaching this journey called life as it translate to finding meaning and finding purpose.

Contact me if you desire to work together to unfold meaning and purpose as you unpack the problem and settle into the solutions.
