Hi, I’m Kate. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LICSW) and offer trauma-informed, psychodynamic therapy that is compassionate and affirming to people of all ages. I often work with adolescents and young adults, those struggling with relationship dynamics, and folks facing significant barriers to mental wellness. I also often work with people navigating gender and sexuality issues. In addition to psychodynamic work, I utilize DBT, a modality designed to support people suffering with emotional overwhelm, self harm & other injurious behaviors, suicidal ideation and relational difficulties.
My practice draws from psychodynamic & behavioral approaches using the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy framework. This means that clients often reach out when they’re ready to explore their inner world more deeply & understand the patterns that shape how they feel & relate to others. We will use practical tools to help manage distress & build resilience.
I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful work, and I aim to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly seen. I’d love to connect with you.

I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy which understands that relationships are fundamental to self knowledge, and that our inner world is often unknown to us yet is a powerful driver of experience. I often utilize DBT, a modality designed to support people suffering with emotional overwhelm, self harm & other injurious behaviors, suicidal ideation and relational difficulties.
