I specialize in helping men aged 45+ and couples navigating midlife. My ideal clients often appear successful but feel drained by professional burnout, irritability, or a hollow sense of achievement. As high-achievers, they find that "powering through" no longer works. I help you move forward by shifting from survival mode to sustainable leadership and fulfillment. My approach is about insight and strategy, not just talking. I collaborate with you to decode emotional "shut downs" and build a version of masculinity grounded in purpose rather than just performance. Together, we move past the rut and back into a life of impact.

Hi there, I'm Kate! Welcome! For the past five years, I have specialized in working with first responders and their families, understanding the unique challenges that come with the job and its impact on loved ones. I believe therapy should be a space where you can unload your concerns without judgment—a place to acknowledge the strengths you already have while developing new skills to support your growth. My goal is to help you navigate life’s stressors and build a healthier, more resilient version of yourself.

You might be someone others see as “having it together”—responsible, capable, dependable. But on the inside maybe you’re overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or carrying the impact of past trauma, and not quite like yourself. We work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and life transitions. Many are used to pushing through alone, so reaching out can feel unfamiliar—but also relieving. In therapy, you don’t have to hold everything in. We’ll make sense of what’s weighing on you and find practical ways to help you feel more grounded, clear, and in control again.

I offer therapy sessions online.
Mental health as an adult can be daunting even more so when we are trying to figure out who we are and what it means to "be yourself". From the start of adulthood, we barely become adults at 18 years old and we are thrust into the world of responsibilities and expectations of knowing who we are and what we want. On top of that we aren't given much guidance to help us achieve what others expect of us. Thus, we are left navigating life with only the knowledge and experiences that have brought us to this point. Sometimes we've learned adaptive skills that work in any area of life but sometimes we learned skills that no longer serve.

Whether a family needs help managing difficult situations with their child’s school in the IEP process, assessments for autism, ADHD, Learning disabilities, or in adaptive domains, I am able to write and explain the comprehensive reports. My background in early childhood education also allows me the skills to provide counseling and play therapy for children, starting as young as 2 years. I want to work with children and their families to appreciate and understand one another so that home is a place of peace and calm, and so children feel understood and excited to learn at school.

I offer virtual appointments and have flexibility for early and later sessions to work around your schedule.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re carrying more than you can handle on your own. Maybe you’ve tried to make changes, to hold things together, or to push through—but something still isn’t working, and it’s exhausting. If you’re struggling with addiction, relationship stress, or the impact of past experiences, you don’t have to face it alone. I work with individuals and families navigating complex situations who want things to feel different, even if they’re not sure where to start. My approach is compassionate, grounded, and real. I often work with people who appear strong on the outside but feel overwhelmed.

I offer in-person therapy in Vista and work online across San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
You might be the person everyone else leans on. Capable, perceptive, easy to read a room. And yet privately feel like you've never quite landed anywhere. Maybe you grew up between countries, between cultures, between versions of yourself, and learned early that adaptation was survival. Or maybe you can't point to a single reason, but intimacy feels harder than it should, and you're tired of living so much of your life in your head.

You can choose to meet with me in person or online through a secure video session.
Life has seasons of transition—new roles, losses, shifting relationships—that can feel heavy to carry alone. I work with adults, young adults, and couples who are juggling a lot: caregivers balancing family obligations, professionals under constant pressure, college or early-career clients, and partners seeking to reconnect. My clients often name ongoing stress or anxiety, burnout, communication struggles, trust concerns, grief, or a quiet sense of self-doubt. In our work, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and practice tools you can use between sessions—clear communication.

FAQ - About Telehealth Therapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
