Teletherapy for Fullerton, CA

***I have openings for new clients*** I have always been interested in working with people who don't quite feel like they "fit the mold." I particularly enjoy working with parents and their kids - esp. homeschoolers and folks with ADHD! I use play with purpose to help facilitate communication, awareness, and the therapeutic process. I use a lot of art, crafts & writing to help people express themselves. You will not find a one-size-fits-all approach here, instead we will work together to find an individualized approach that helps empower everyone involved and help you meet your goals! I am telehealth only right now.

I work from a person-centered, intersectional feminist lens that’s rooted in compassionate nervous system regulation and soulful depth heart work. I support you by focusing on resiliency, communication skills, and identity exploration that breaks through and deconstructs identities and social expectations. I help to shift your relationship with emotions. Why do you have them? What’s their purpose? I help to change your relationship with mental health. How is anxiety and depression protecting you? I support you in increasing your awareness and reminding you of your power of choice, agency, and autonomy.

Are you having problems with work or family? Trying to reduce the stress in your life? We can work together to sort things out, find new ways to communicate and connect with others in a more positive way. There is a way out from the turmoil you are experiencing. Talking things other with a professional takes the burden off your mind and helps you to realize you are not alone in this problem. If your goal is to repair relationships or do better in business we will focus on that problem. Sometimes your past effects today's problems so we will visit those old hurts too. Give me a call. I am listening.

Are you feeling unfulfilled in your relationships, choices, and just life? Those who feel detached from those around them often believe they're a burden and bring no value to those around them. If any of that resonated with you, you may feel disconnected from different areas of your life, such as work, relationships, family and interests. Many individuals go through life never feeling like they belong, lack fulfillment, joy, and a sense of identity. You're here looking to finally put yourself first, to find a sense of satisfaction in your life, and I'd love to be part of that journey, so you no longer feel alone.

I work well with adults, young adults, and teenagers that are dealing with depression, anxiety, phase-of-life issues, trauma, and grief. I work with couples working to strengthen their relationships and improve communication skills. I specialize working with the LGBTQIA+ population, racial minorities, Asian Americans, children of immigrants, people with autism and their family members.

I am a patient, attentive human, fueled by deep curiosity and compassion ready to walk with you through whatever stage of life you are in. Through my own self work, education, and life experiences, I have learned that we are all on our very own unique journey towards tending to parts of us that have been mistreated or left behind by hurtful past experiences. As a human and a provider, I have a strong passion for healing. I believe in the power of restorative relationships, that everyone has the ability to rewrite unhelpful narratives, and the strength to transform their life.

When I think about the issues we experience in the world, I often see them through the filter of who we most engage with. Our relationships are part of what defines who we are, and how we are in the world. Whether it's a spouse, partner, family member, or even co-worker, our interpersonal experiences shape the way we feel day-to-day and moment to moment. Understanding how or why certain things bring up those feelings is the key to overcoming them.

Struggles in your relationship can be overwhelming and confusing where you're constantly arguing over small things and feel a growing distance as a couple. "How did things get to this point and how do I fix it?" I want you to know that I understand because I have been in your shoes. I know the pain and frustration that comes with feeling disconnected in a relationship.

Are you struggling to find connection, not only with others, but with yourself? Do you doubt yourself, ever wonder if you’re enough? Are life’s uncertainties too difficult to navigate? Hi, I’m Kat. I want to acknowledge this moment you are taking in support of your self-care. Thank you for prioritizing your mental health and I hope to help you along this journey.

From personal experience, I know the mind can be a place of peace & creativity but also one of pain & destruction. My therapeutic practice is heart-centered which means I support folks in bringing their destructive matters of the mind into a loving awareness. I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, low-self esteem, emotional dysregulation, relationship issues, & other forms of inner child wounds. I don't subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy so I collaborate with my clients to adapt my approach & co-create a space that tends to their individual needs.

High-achieving college students sometimes need a warm, supportive, and trusted guide along their path - someone they feel comfortable talking to, someone who has been in their shoes. The college students I tend to work best with in therapy are those who are bright, capable, and motivated but aspects of their potential might be hindered by anxiety, depression, or trauma. They are open to being in therapy and ready to give it a try.

: : CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS : : I believe that seeking support for your current difficulties shows strength and courage. As a therapist, I provide a non-judgemental, empathetic, and warm environment to examine life's challenges. My aim is to provide a space of safety, realness, and compassion to work collaboratively towards the goals you see for yourself. I believe you are the expert in your own life. I use a strengths-based and skills-based approach to identify your concerns and create a constructive plan for your healing and moving forward.

Often, some of our feelings like disappointment, shame, anger, grief, or fear need a space to be seen and heard. We sometimes want to pause and look at where we are in our lives and relationships. As we revisit the childhood wound, the barriers to adulthood thriving become clear. Many times, we see things that we cannot control like gender norms, ideal body standards, or identity-based stereotypes, are deeply rooted in our inner and outer world. All of these are things we can explore, process, and discuss in our session.

OCD and anxiety symptoms don't have to ruin your life. As an anxiety specialist, I am dedicated to helping you overcome your fears, develop a better relationship with your thoughts, and build your resilience to handle obsessions without relying on compulsions.

CalOCD offers individual, online, group, IOP, and consultation for individuals and families. Additionally, CalOCD's staff offers a range of fees and sliding scale.

Teens and college students can level up their mental health tools for coping with anxiety, and their parents can become equipped to help them.

Even better, you can benefit from this skill-building approach regardless of whether or not you've been able to access therapy or medication, for a fraction of what those would cost you over time.
