Therapists in Carmel, CA

Hi there, I'm Kathryn! My professional experience as Medical Social Worker and Marriage Family Therapist, along with my personal experiences of loss and life transitions, has improved my understanding of human experiences in adverse environments. The success of my clients, patients, and couples/families is reflected in my ability to think outside the box, be supportive when it comes to change and new ways of thinking, explore self-awareness, and the steps both I and the individual take together.
