Hello, I'm Kate, a dedicated child therapist with a passion for helping children and families overcome challenges and heal from trauma. With a background in working with at-risk adolescents and families, I've honed my skills in creating a safe and supportive environment for children to thrive. I now specialize in using play therapy and a variety of evidence-based techniques to assist children who have faced domestic violence, divorce, traumatic events, behavioral issues, anxiety, fear, and impulsivity. I firmly believe that children communicate through play, and it's through this medium that I listen and connect with them.

As a therapist I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and authentic healing environment, where I can assist individuals, couples, and families work through life’s challenges. In therapy, I utilize an integrative approach, that is heavily rooted in Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive (CBT) and Narrative Therapy models, that nurture the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual parts of the self while working to eliminate any obstacles that stand in the way of attaining your goals. I believe wholeheartedly in the therapeutic process through a collaborative relationship with my clients.

All of us, over the course of our lives, have found ourselves faced with challenging life events - some small and others so much bigger than ourselves that we become overwhelmed and unable to face them alone. We may experience feelings of grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflicts, marital strife, illness, or addiction to mention a few. However, what is most important is that we not face these alone, and remember there is help and relief. Each one of us has a sense of resiliency to meet our life challenges - even in our worst times. Finding that resiliency is the beginning to healing and living our best lives.
