Trauma Focused Therapists in Birmingham, AL
I work from an attachment and trauma focused lens while incorporating DBT as needed.
Life is filled with unpredictability and difficulty. Whether it's loss, anxiety, trauma, or depression, sometimes life can feel overwhelming and hopeless. Therapy can help provide space to heal, grow, and create new beginnings. I strive to create an environment where clients can come and find hope in dark places while being their authentic selves.

Therapy can help provide space to heal, grow, and create new beginnings. I strive to create an environment where clients can come and find hope in dark places while being their authentic selves.
I use an integrative approach using various counseling styles including Solution Focused Therapy, CBT, DBT, Person-Centered, and Trauma Focused Therapy.
I have a special interest in counseling male clients age 13 and up. I also specialize in seeing women who prefer to see a male counselor. Helping men with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life events, and helping them navigate the world through the male perspective is a passion of mine. I help men break the stigma of therapy to get the help they need and deserve. I help clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, addiction, anger management, family conflict, communication, trauma, behavioral concerns, relationship problems, and many more.

Hi! Please call me Kat. While change can be done alone, it is often fragmented and limited to our self-awareness. I believe that the transformative power that comes from a safe, supportive, and empathic relationship can act as a fertilizer and accelerate personal and transformational growth. It is through connectedness and relationships that we can see our blind spots, discover our incongruences, and get in contact with our more authentic selves. Pursuing change in a vacuum can often leave us in a feedback loop. We may need help to redirect our focus and energy towards a more productive path.

I have skills in dialectical behavioral therapy, experiential therapy, and trauma focused therapy.
It’s not working anymore. Maybe your relationships end up chaotic, maybe you are struggling to be happy, or maybe you have lost meaning in your life. Whatever it is, as hard and long as you have tried, maybe you can’t figure out how to fix it? I’ve been there in that dark place, and I found someone who was able to help me. I’d like to be that person for you. I’ve spent several years studying the pain people go through, and I’ve had my fair share. You won’t experience judgement, shock, or surprise. I am in recovery, and I am able to live life on life’s terms. Things can change, and hope is here for you.

I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and individuals who have experienced trauma (sexual abuse, physical abuse, maltreatment and neglect), anxiety, stress, trauma-related struggles, and attachment disturbances. Life can be challenging - especially when you feel stuck and joy seems lost. Experiencing challenging life events does not mean settling for unhappy circumstances.

Some times, we struggle in this world and it is hard to make sense of it. It seems that you are alone and that no one understands. You are overwhelmed by life. There comes a time when you need a little support to make it from one day to the next. That support can come in the form of therapy.
