Hi, I'm Kate. I work with folks looking to heal and make meaning from hurts, hard life events, and traumas. I'm a good fit for those willing to be introspective and open to learning new skills and ways of viewing themselves/others. I see my job as making that process feel safe and attainable by providing a warm, supportive, and tailored counseling environment.
I use a variety of therapy treatments, and we can work together to determine the best fit for you. The modality I use most frequently (and highly recommend) is Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Through EMDR, clients can gain relief from the pain of distressing memories and re-evaluate internal narratives that may not be helpful anymore.
Regardless of what you've been through or how long you've been struggling, consider reaching out. With years of training and experience, I'm here to join you whenever you're ready.
