Hi there, I'm Kate. Do you find yourself struggling to manage daily life and relationships because of anxiety, depression, and/or trauma? Do you often feel alone and that no one understands you or your struggles?

I have over 11 years of post graduate clinical experience working with children, teens, and adults. I support those navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, racism, discrimination, bullying, identity exploration, and workplace issues. I embrace the collaborative power of the therapeutic relationship to support clients with identifying and achieving realistic goals. I seek to empower clients with the skills of coping, insight, and self-awareness to navigate life and lead the lives they choose.

I welcome each and every person who is ready to give therapy a try into my practice. I have always been inspired by working with clients of all identities and enjoy learning about different cultures, identities and beliefs. Being a minority woman, I specifically enjoy working with other minority women as I am able to provide them with a sense of comfort and hope as we navigate their world together.

My professional goal is to help those in the LGBTQ+ community navigate the social and personal challenges of gender identity and sexual orientation, as well as co-occurring mental health symptoms that they may be experiencing. I provide a safe therapeutic environment to meet the unique needs of this community. I have experience working with those of varying gender identities, sexual orientations, as well as varying non-monogamous relationship orientations. I also have experience working with individuals preparing for or receiving gender affirming medical care.

Are you drowning in a sea of anxious "what ifs"? Is fear holding you back from connecting with the joy in your life? If so, you're not alone. Unmanaged anxiety and OCD can be incredibly painful. But there is hope. By learning to manage the thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate this pain, you can break free and experience true freedom. Freedom to live a life that's more present and fulfilling, where you can make choices based on what you want, not what you fear.

My speciality is working with individuals experiencing issues with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, over-eating, grief and trauma. My approach is to first identify existing coping strategies to deal with the current stressors. Together, we sort out the underlying problems and identify and develop a tool kit with more effective coping strategies for the many challenges that the world throws at you. We examine and re-frame your emotional reactions to current and past trauma. The relationship between therapist and client is really important for change; and I do my best to provide a warm, natural, humorous and relaxed atmosphere.

In my practice, I see people with a variety of concerns about their relationships, careers, and other aspects of their lives. Whether you are experiencing troubling symptoms like depression or anxiety, feeling dissatisfied or held back, or having difficulty coming to terms with loss or other stressful life events, my goal would be to help you understand yourself better, feel more content, and live your life more fully. My approach is kind, thoughtful, and collaborative. I typically start by listening to your story, to get to know you and what led you to seek treatment.

You’re overwhelmed and confused about sex and stuck in a lose-lose situation where you’re stressed if you try to have sex and feel guilty if you avoid it. You want to get out of this cycle because you feel bad saying no but honestly aren't very interested. You're feeling a LOT of sexpectations right now. But it’s not that you don’t want to have sex, it’s that you want to WANT to have sex. And how do you explain that?! All of this is infuriating because you love your partner and have a great relationship, but you can’t seem to figure this out even though you've tried ALL the things.

Working in the mental health field for almost 10 years, I understand the need for a safe and supportive environment. My goal is to help each individual gain the tools needed on their road to healing and recovery. I utilize an eclectic range of therapies to fit each person's unique needs. I specialize in mental health, substance abuse, attachment disorders, and trauma.

As a trauma-informed and radically affirming therapist, I aim to help clients with challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, self-image, relationships, eating disorders, and more. The majority of my clinical experience has been in working with LGBTQ+ clients as well as individuals with substance use challenges. I work from a sex positive, culturally-sensitive, and polyamory-aware lens and welcome discussion of these topics in therapy. Furthermore, as a therapist with foundations in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I incorporate mindfulness in therapy to help clients live a more psychologically flexible life.

I specialize in working with clients who are naturally curious, eager to understand themselves better, and motivated to apply self-awareness and therapeutic skills to their lives. Whether you're a caregiver juggling the unique demands of supporting others while seeking support for yourself, a college student striving to manage stress, or someone silently grappling with constant worry, I provide a safe space for you to express, discover, and heal.

I see adults and teens seeking to better manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and eating disorders/addictions. My style can be described as warm and collaborative. My clients prefer a therapist who is approachable and "real." They value some direction or new ideas balanced with just having a space to be seen and cared for as they are. I see therapy as a vehicle for people to find their own answers but I also value empirically supported techniques for helping clients feel better. I utilize humor and helps clients set actionable goals so they can make measurable changes.

Hi there! Do you have difficult relationships in your life that you are trying to navigate? Would you like to better understand how trauma has affected you and your relationships? Would it be helpful to explore your relationship with substance use or medication in a non-judgmental way? Are you struggling with one or more chronic illnesses that impact your mental wellness and quality of life?

For people who have experienced anxiety, persistent stress or trauma— one of the greatest fears is feeling helpless to a pattern that keeps repeating itself over and over. In our painful search for relief, we might feel lonely and disconnected from friends/family. In the process, we might wear a “mask” to please others. The moments of self-doubt can leave us uncertain about our authentic voice and question whether we can truly trust ourselves. You deserve to feel acceptance and security within yourself. I believe our work together can help you move towards a life of meaningful healing and growth.

I have a psychotherapeutic orientation, and am also trained in both cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques. I offer compassionate therapy for grief, depression, anxiety, stress management and life transitions.

Welcome! I am so glad you are here. I believe that the following statements are true: ① Human beings are magic. ② Every person is innately entitled to experience healing, wholeness, peace, and joy. ③ Lasting change happens for folks when they are ready, willing, and able. In our therapeutic work together, I will meet you exactly where you are at. We will explore where you've been, conceptualize what you want to do with where you've been, and devise a plan to get you where you want to go.

As a therapist I am inquisitive, honest, and casual in my communication. Exploring new perspectives and challenging thought processes allows for establishing a foundation to support healthier relationships with ourselves and others. Through a collaborative approach, I will work with you to create a space to explore yourself further. In asking you to show up authentically and honestly, I promise to do the same. A focal point of the work I do is to highlight vulnerability and honest communication as the crux of any relationship. Together, we will process through personal or relational issues, anxiety, depression, and much more.

I am a PhD Psychologist, musician, and professional coach. Clients in my practice are diverse and have come to coaching for improvements in a range of areas in their life. They include innovative thinkers, leaders, entrepreneurs, and healing practitioners who want to live meaningful lives and make an impact on the world. In my coaching practice, I fuse principles and techniques from psychology, coaching, and cutting-edge science, but most importantly I work on a deeper and more direct level. I use intuitive, dynamic, and mindfulness-based approaches alongside psychological assessments and OKRs as tools to enhance the coaching experience.

I work with folks seeking to heal from individual and/or collective trauma, and those looking to form more meaningful connections. Through collaboration we can create a therapeutic space that feels right for you. My hope is that our work together will allow you to develop greater capacity, deeper connections, and more softness in your life. You might even find greater clarity around your sense of self, your desires, your boundaries, your sexuality, and your relationships with others. I am sex-positive, trans/queer affirming, polyamory/kink informed, pro-SW, and body neutral, as well as committed to the decolonization of therapy.
