Are you struggling with persistent sadness, anxiety or unwanted thoughts? If you think it's time to talk to someone, psychotherapy can help. Hi, my name is Kate. People experience me as calm and steady, warm and insightful. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties (mother-daughter), life transitions, and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (e.g. growing up in a chaotic household). I offer a unique somatic treatment for Birth Trauma during labour & delivery. Everyone is welcome in my practice.
I work with both somatic and cognitive therapies and rely on newer evidence-based treatments including Deep Brain Reorienting and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I offer hospital-quality Therapy Groups for mood disorders and PTSD online. See my website for details about my services.
It's important you feel emotionally safe, so I move at your pace. Many clients develop a new perspective and report a greater ease with themselves and others. With psychotherapy, emotional balance can be restored. Contact me to book a free 15 minute consult and see if my warm approach is a match for your needs.

Kate is a warm, attuned presence who has been a tremendous help to me in my own healing. Her skillful use of DBR has allowed me to process early attachment trauma and begin to feel more self-compassion and less shame. I highly recommend Kate!
