I believe parts of our life are made up of series of losses, and my goal is to help folx manage these losses. Loss can come in many forms; death of a loved one, identity, the future, and more. I help provide the needed support, validation, and evidence-based approaches to the many types of loss life may throw your way. While grief and loss are a huge part of the work I do, I also have experience and enjoy helping others learn to manage anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship issues and other mental health concerns.

Kate’s goal is to bring a compassionate, and non-judgemental strong clinical background to meet clients where they are currently struggling. She can help facilitate and explore healthy ways to cope, accept, and move through difficult emotions that are keeping you stuck.

Therapy is an opportunity for you to gain insight, find hope, and make lasting change. I am committed to working collaboratively with you to develop increased awareness around your unique experiences and emotions and process what may be contributing to you feeling distressed, alone or in conflict. I believe the therapeutic relationship is key. As your therapist, I’ll create a safe space for you to explore your vulnerabilities while providing feedback to help you make meaning of your patterns and struggles. I’ll be there to support and challenge you as you strive to live your most authentic life.

Psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to better understand oneself, others, our contexts and histories, and the interplay among these elements. While some patients come to me seeking relief from concrete symptoms of anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, others wish to wrest themselves from a more opaque sense of disconnection, emptiness, or dissatisfaction. Regardless of what brings you to psychotherapy, I offer a space that is warm, empathically attuned, collaborative, and that offers the necessary factors to both promote insight and, more importantly, move you towards a new, fulfilling experience of yourself and life.

I truly enjoy learning about and working with all of my clients and helping them use their strengths to meet their goals. We work together to build a strong therapeutic partnership that is holistic, strength-based, person-centered and considers cultural beliefs and backgrounds. I am bilingual (fluent in Spanish) and have a passion for tailoring treatment to meet the specific needs of the person. My style is compassionate and relational.

I believe that each client has a story to share, stemming from a diverse and unique background - and seek to hold clients in a safe, nurturing space that is truly their own. My conviction is that it is the relationship between the therapist and the client that is ultimately what heals, and when it works, it is immensely powerful. I am passionate about exploring ways to help clients discover their own resiliency and live more authentically in order to create the mental and emotional space to reach their fullest potential.

You may be experiencing a period of mental unrest and uncertainty.

As a licensed clinical psychologist who understands the need for inner healing first, it is my goal to support you in identifying core sources of pain, confusion, fear, and stress in order to get to the root cause of the issue.

I specialize in individual therapy for depression, anxiety, stress related to family and relationships dynamics, eating disorders, and trauma-related stressors. Engaging in a therapeutic process requires vulnerability and courage; I admire and respect you for making the decision of going through the journey to your inner world.

In my practice I see adolescents and adults. I view therapy as a place where you can more fully understand yourself and your relationships and therefore be empowered to make better choices in your life. My style is informed by dynamically oriented and relational therapy. Regardless of theory, the most important part of the process is building a relationship built on trust and safety. Through this safe and supportive environment we will help you build on your strengths and problem solving skills as well as deepen your self awareness and self understanding.

So, you've already done the scariest part of this whole process, which is deciding that you want support and taking action. That takes incredible strength and humility, even if you may not feel that way right now. From here, it's my job to work together with you to find ways to channel that strength towards the goals you have and help reframe the way you're approaching challenges through support, humor, and compassion.
