Do you feel like you are not enough? Have you lost your identity? Do you feel crazy in your current relationship or with your family?

My goal in therapy is to help you understand what "healthy" looks like and empower you to set boundaries and create the life that you desire.

With 20 years experience of empowering individuals, couples and families, I aim to inspire those I counsel.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and wellness advocate who believes in focusing on the mind-body connection for a holistic approach to healing.

There are seasons in life when direction from a professional can make a difference; in family relationships, peer relationships and marriage relationships. I believe in empowering people to become the best they can be by understanding from where they came. This awareness of your family of origin brings knowledge, and empowers you to work through the past and move forward to a more fulfilled life. Getting to know you and your concerns is the beginning of a therapeutic relationship which will allow me to assist in fostering your personal goals.

My ambition is to work with veterans, first responders, civil servants, and their families, however, my passion is to assist any and all families during the multitude of life transitions that spark turmoil, anxiety, depression, or difficult challenges for the family system.

Life is hard, and can seem overwhelming at times. We may often feel lost, afraid, stressed, anxious, overwhelmed and have low energy. Our relationships may be suffering and our family life chaotic; our work may not be fulfilling and our careers may not be what we thought. We may have even wondered is there any chance to make this life better, or are we just stuck where we are. Well, the great news is you are exactly where you should be right now, and tomorrow can be better than today. You are taking the appropriate next step!

Hi! I'm Kate and I have a special interest in working with adults (18+) dealing with self-esteem/self-worth issues; grief; recovery from the effects of physical, sexual, and emotional trauma; toxic relationships; and those dealing with strenuous, intrusive, or difficult parent/adult-child relationships. I believe that improving our interpersonal relationships, and as well as understanding recurring themes in our lives, are imperative for a better understanding, acceptance, respect, compassion, and love for ourselves. I'm able to see clients virtually in PA, DE, NJ, and FL.

Sometimes the people in our lives just don’t get it. Our lives don't often offer the non-judgmental space to work through trauma, heartache, and overwhelming stress. Talking with a therapist is different from talking with a friend or family member because you are free of obligations and responsibility. It is all about you, and I will ask helpful questions, point out connections and patterns, and simply give you space to put yourself first and talk through your experiences.

Every story is unique. My job in session is to listen well and frame a space that invites you to speak freely. I work exclusively through telehealth, and my areas of expertise are in helping people who are grappling with overwhelming emotions, dissociative defenses, or the aftermath of painful experiences to get to a place that's more livable. Integrating the tools of old school psychotherapy with affective neurobiology, relational theories of change, and a horizontal treatment approach, I help you get to the root of the problem as we work in the moment towards equilibrium and a sense of connectedness to yourself and others.

I enjoy empowering young people to pursue peace and healing within themselves, become aware of patterns that have been holding them back, & become confident in their own abilities. I believe we all experience our own unique set of circumstances that subconsciously affect our emotional well-being, our relationships, how we see ourselves, and our interactions in the world. I use a holistic approach in therapy, which means, I look at all aspects of your internal and external environment to help you gain understanding, and discover your best self to begin healing.

I am passionate about helping those who suffer with mental health and dual disorders. My approach is empathetic and compassion first, with the goal of helping my clients overcome the obstacles in their lives that are inhibiting them from achieving fulfillment in life. No two clients are alike, therefore I treat each person's needs as I partner with them to heal the body, mind and spirit. My method is eclectic whether I am seeing you individually or in group , I believe everyone is capable of healing; as a therapist, it is my job to help guide each person on their own, personal journey toward healing and growth.
