Hello! I’m Kate, a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider, offering individual therapy services for adults located in Kansas (in-person sessions in Lawrence). My style is collaborative, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth (with a dose of humor). I am experienced in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and transitions, and I specialize in working with adults of all identities navigating these challenges, helping them build insight, resilience, and real, lasting change by using an eclectic and holistic evidence-based approach to individualized treatment.
I am experienced in and draw from evidence-based modalities like CBT, ACT, CPT, IFS, mindfulness-based techniques, somatic work, behavioral activation, solution-focused strategies, and a strengths-based, person-centered lens. Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all—we’ll tailor our work to fit your goals, needs, interests, and abilities.
I’m passionate about this work because I know firsthand how transformative therapy can be, and the importance of building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship together. If you are ready to commit to therapy or are considering taking this step but have questions first, please reach out and we can explore how I might be of support in your journey.
