Relationship is the most healing aspect of the counseling process. So that is the first thing we need to talk about. Do we click? Do you feel like you can talk with me about your sadness, your anger, your fear?

You deserve a space to process that feels safe, warm, and encouraging - and that is exactly what is most important to me to provide. I believe that while I am the counselor in the room, it is you who is the expert on your own lived experiences and values. Many of our relationships and experiences from the past inform our present day worldview; I want to help you make connections between those experiences and the present, and use the strengths you already posses to move towards the future and relationships you are dreaming of!

I work with folks who are feeling lost. Lots of things can make us feel this way: Excessive stress, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-judgement, trauma responses, suicidal thoughts... The list could go on. What these experiences have in common is they get in the way of us being the version of ourselves that we want to be. Another thing they have in common? They don't have to stay in our way.

Life can be many things and most descriptors would be inappropriate to type out here, but above all it can be really damn hard. Some of us have gone through experiences that we didn't ask for, but some how we've managed this far. If this is you and you're considering it's time to seek some help in this struggle we all call life, you're not alone. You're not weak. Starting this journey of therapy isn't an easy thing to do, and I think that makes you brave. Wanting to step into a better life for yourself takes courage. It's my honor and greatest privilege to assist in this walk back to a life worth living. Let's take that step!

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.

Have you been told you have PTSD? Or, do you have anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or negative self-talk that all started with a traumatic event(s)? If so, you have come to the right place. People with trauma often find themselves spending countless hours in therapy but not getting lasting relief. That is because not every therapist is specially trained to treat trauma, and not every therapy intervention is able to access the part of the brain where traumatic memories live.

I found my love for Social Work later in life. I was a middle school and high school English teacher and found that I loved working with my students and helping them with their struggles. This motivated me to go back to school and get my Master's in Social Work. I have worked extensively in community mental health, with homeless individuals, veterans, and a multitude of other populations. I still currently work in the field with these populations along with providing therapy. I absolutely love what I do!

Please come see me even if you have tried therapy many times but still haven't given up on healing! My goal as a therapist is to have a large bag of tools for you so that we can find a technique that you respond to best. I love working with creative people, people who are suffering from anxiety, depression, conflict, people who have chronic pain despite medication adherence and people who are just plain confused about why they feel the way they do. I don't believe that any one approach works for every person, and want to work with you collaboratively to find out what it is that you need for your unique life story.
