My name is Kate and I am a licensed clinical psychologist and creative arts therapist. I specialize in working with creatives, deep feelers, and individuals in transition who are struggling with grief, relationship patterns, identity shifts, and a longing to reconnect with themselves. I help by offering a warm, collaborative space where we can explore your emotional landscape, identify the patterns beneath your current challenges, and gently reconnect you with your inner voice. My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed, often integrating art therapy and somatic awareness for clients who process beyond words.
In our first few sessions, you can expect to feel seen and heard. We'll explore what’s bringing you in and begin to uncover the deeper threads in your relationships, your challenges and what brings you joy.
My practice is unique because I blend clinical depth with creativity and attunement—I bring both psychological rigor and a human, intuitive presence. I’m not afraid to sit with the hard stuff, and I also make space for humor, image, and metaphor in the healing process.I am passionate about this work because I believe in the resilience of the human spirit.

I work with clients navigating transitions, grief, creative blocks, and relational patterns that feel stuck. In early sessions, we explore what's bringing you in and create a plan grounded in depth, honesty, and curiosity. Clients often experience greater clarity, emotional freedom, and connection to themselves as our work unfolds.

I use a relational, psychodynamic approach and often integrate art therapy, somatic awareness, and depth-oriented work. In our first session, what's bringing you in and begin identifying patterns. The experience will most likely be creative, reflective, and emotionally-grounded - supporting insights, healing, and greater self-expression.
