My training includes play therapy, art therapy, CBT, and TF-CBT.
Hello, I'm Kate, a dedicated child therapist with a passion for helping children and families overcome challenges and heal from trauma. With a background in working with at-risk adolescents and families, I've honed my skills in creating a safe and supportive environment for children to thrive. I now specialize in using play therapy and a variety of evidence-based techniques to assist children who have faced domestic violence, divorce, traumatic events, behavioral issues, anxiety, fear, and impulsivity. I firmly believe that children communicate through play, and it's through this medium that I listen and connect with them.

You're not sure how things got so out of control with your relationship with your teenage child. You tried to connect, set limits, and find compromise, but nothing seems to work. The relationship remains difficult or perhaps even volatile. Maybe your child doesn’t listen or actively seek your advice or trust. Perhaps they have left the house and not returned for hours at a time, nor have they returned your calls or texts, and now you’re really worried. Either way, you have come to the realization that you can not do this alone.

An ideal client is anyone who shows up at your door understanding that something in their life is not working the way they want it to and having the desire to change that.

Each person is unique and I believe that once we identify the core issue, we are well on our way to removing the block and creating the life a client truly desires. I use talk therapy along with EMDR to assist clients in achieving the goals they have set for themselves.

Those who are suffering from trauma may find relief. Trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), I have seen firsthand the positive treatment outcomes from EMDR. While working in residential treatment for alcohol and substance use. Along with family members struggling with issues brought on by addiction, anxiety, depression, co-dependency, unresolved grief/loss, and relationship issues. Let’s work together to develop healthy coping skills & explore the root of the problem. Therapy is an open process in which one must be honest with both themselves & the therapist to get results they seek.

Art Therapy

How does art therapy work?

The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?

Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?

The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?

Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
