As a Black, trauma-informed EMDR therapist, I support women and families navigating the lasting effects of trauma. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired, you're not alone. This is a space to slow down, breathe, and begin to make sense of what’s been heavy. Together we'll explore your story with care, move at your pace, and gently reconnect with your strength and sense of self. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

I believe that psychotherapy can hep people achieve the highest level of emotional, psychological, and relationship functioning possible.

Feeling disconnected? Overwhelmed with anxiety and stress? Experiencing traumatic feelings from your past? Wish you could have a better relationship with yourself? We're often expected to carry our burdens silently, and deal with the pressures of work, relationships, and life all alone. But what if you didn't have to go through it alone? Imagine if, instead of having to battle your emotions, you could feel a deep sense of calmness from being in tune with yourself.

Your relationship used to feel close and full of possibility. Now it feels tense, distant, or stuck in painful cycles. One of you may crave more connection but feel dismissed or rejected; the other may feel overwhelmed or like nothing they do is ever enough. You both feel unheard and alone. Maybe you’ve been through trauma—individually or together—and it’s shaped how you cope, fight, or shut down. You’re not sure what the future holds, but you remember a time when you felt truly in love and supported. You want to find your way back to each other.

Is this the best your life is ever going to be?

Are you feeling chained to the past and locked into “autopilot” mode? Are relationships leaving you wonder about belonging or being good enough? Trauma leaves an undeniable trail of distrust and fear in our mind and our bodies. Trauma is what went wrong and what was never given. Its imprints shape our stress response, emotional thresholds and how we relate to others. So, what if you could quiet your survival brain and take back control of your life? Therapy is about becoming the architect of your life and the master of your mind and body. It’s time to take charge and shape the new you.

Are you struggling with sadness, worry or unwanted thoughts? If you think it's time to talk to someone, psychotherapy can help. Hi, my name is Kate. My therapeutic style is warm, authentic and compassionate. People see me when they have intrusive thoughts, worry or low mood. I move with clients at their own pace. Postpartum women seek me out requesting a somatic birth trauma protocol I developed several years ago. Adults want help with memories of a painful past and intense emotions. People want to create healthier connections to others and to themselves. With psychotherapy emotional balance can be restored.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or burnt out, finding yourself on edge, down, and doubting yourself? You may worry about things you have said or done "wrong" in a day. As someone in a demanding career, it's hard to say no - to find the time and energy to take care of your needs. You may feel guilty more often than not. Do you question if you're the problem - that something is wrong with you and that you just can't hack it? Whether others know it or not, you just don't feel that comfortable in your own skin.
