Hi there! My name is Kathryn Shafer (She, Her, Hers). I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 12 years of experience in the field. I provide individual, couples and family therapy to children, teens and adults with a variety of concerns. I specialize in working with diverse populations who have anxiety, depression, relational problems and everyday life stressors.
I am naturally a very open minded individual who has always taken a non judgmental stance in my personal and professional life which has allowed me to help individuals who come from all walks of life.
I am excited to be apart of this journey with you as you take a step towards growth. I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"- Lao Tzu
