Feel owned by your anxiety or trapped by your depression? Is much of your time spent trying to manage symptoms so you can muddle through the day, only to be faced with the very same challenges the very next? For many, anxiety and depression can become a way of life, leaving very little space for anything else. If this sounds all too familiar, it may be time to partner with a counselor who can offer hope and help. As a therapist, I offer a warm, relaxed, non-judgmental environment with personalized treatment. My goal is to help you reduce distressing symptoms and improve the quality of your life.

Hi, I'm Kate. I provide counseling to individuals and couples in the north Seattle area. My approach to therapy begins with relationship as I believe both harm and healing happen within the context of relationships. Perhaps you are tired of feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed. Maybe you've experienced a significant loss that has shifted your roles and beliefs. You don't have to figure this out alone. My focus is to develop a trusting relationship with you and provide a safe environment where you can tell your story, feel accepted, and experience the wholeness and healing that comes out of that process.

Change can look scary, and feel overwhelming. The goal is to help people move through the end of a relationship and create a second start for themselves. This means allowing room for grief while making possibilities for the future. Lets work together in making lasting change for you.

I am a licensed psychologist with 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and relationship issues utilizing a cognitive-behavioral approach. Working as a team, we will identify problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and develop skills to overcome them. My style tends to be conversational and gentle, yet honest and direct. Together, we will use curiosity, respectful humor, and genuine empathy to explore your concerns and arrive at better solutions. I particularly enjoy helping people learn how to speak up for themselves without resorting to anger or guilt.

I believe increasing self-awareness and confidence to step outside of one’s comfort zone is a very important process to setting the foundation for a successful therapeutic environment.
