I see therapy as the process of realizing that we have more choices than we thought we did. I am guided by the belief that every human being is worthy and capable of change, and that connection is the epicenter of human healing. As such, I strive to create a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, support and acceptance. It takes bravery to seek help, and I feel honored to walk alongside my clients. I recognize the validity of all gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, races and religions and aim to create relationships/spaces with my clients in which they feel free and safe to be themselves.

If you tell yourself: “I can’t keep living like this,” we'll be a good fit. I specialize in individuals, couples, and families who've been impacted by suicidal thoughts and related concerns, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and identity-related stress (gender, sexual orientation, ethnic/racial). These people are cycle-breakers who want to change old family patterns; stonecatchers who try to protect others from mistreatment because they know how it feels; or those who are simply tired of feeling “just ok.” Ultimately I blend the nerdy science of psychology with humility and humor to support you in building a more meaningful life.

Kathryn is passionate about creating a safe and collaborative counseling environment where individuals can feel seen, heard, and empowered. She primarily approaches counseling through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), helping clients better understand the parts of themselves with deeply held beliefs, thoughts, or behaviors that keep them from connecting to their true self. She takes into account the unique experiences, identities, and perspectives of each person throughout the counseling process.

You may feel weighed down by family, cultural, or societal expectations, carrying questions, grief, or doubt that feels too heavy to face alone. Perhaps you’re untangling old beliefs or messages from your past — including spiritual or religious expectations — exploring your identity, navigating neurodiverse experiences, or moving through loss and life transitions. Some clients feel unseen or disconnected, while others long for clarity, understanding, and a sense of belonging. Together, we create a safe, affirming space to explore your story, heal old wounds, and build more meaningful connections with yourself and others.

Don't think about pink elephants....So what are you thinking about? When you’re told not to think about a something, it becomes impossible not to. The same is true for anxiety and OCD. The more you try to distract, avoid, or talk through the thoughts, the more you feel stuck and overwhelmed by the anxiety. You can't just "get over it." I am here to help. With 11 years of experience, I specialize in helping people to face their "pink elephant." Some things I have helped people to manage and move past are perfectionism, worrying about the past or the future, OCD, non-stop thoughts about body image, and social anxiety.

Healing starts when you feel safe to be fully yourself. A lot of us learned early on that showing our true selves wasn’t safe—we had to shrink, stay quiet, or carry everything alone. Over time, that can turn into anxiety, exhaustion, disconnection, or relationship struggles. In therapy, we’ll slow down, make sense of those patterns, and help you reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with what you really need. I work with individuals, couples, and families using trauma-informed, attachment-focused approaches to create real, lasting change.

I am a therapist-trainee that works with teens and adults in addressing a range of concerns including life transitions, identity exploration, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, and depression.

I love helping young people feel seen, supported, and understood! That’s why I’m passionate about walking alongside children, teens, and college students as they navigate behavior challenges, family conflict, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, and anxiety.
I truly believe it’s okay to not feel okay—and I want every young person I work with to know that asking for help is one of the strongest and most courageous things they can do. As Robert Kiyosaki said, “One of the biggest defects in life is the inability to ask for help,” and that reminder has always encouraged me to normalize reaching out when life feels heavy.

Currently accepting new clients!
I support people through grief, hard conversations, and life transitions. Careers shift, kids leave home, marriages evolve, parents age—life pushes us to adapt.
And with each change, we’re asked to renegotiate boundaries, relationships, expectations, identity, and values. These shifts often carry a quiet kind of grief that can feel hard to name and even harder to face.
My goal is to work with you to move through the ache of what’s ending and to make space for the possibility of what’s beginning.

I believe that getting better begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. It is not about a quick fix. It is about trust, connection, and feeling truly seen and heard. My goal is to create a space where clients are free to explore their experiences, challenges, relationships, and hopes without judgment. I specialize in working with adults who have a loud, active inner monologue. I have special clinical interest in attachment & relationship issues, life transitions, self-esteem, and trauma. If you are wanting to break negative patterns, feel more self-assured, or navigate relationships with ease, I may be a good fit for you.
