When I think about life and growth, lyrics from a Grateful Dead song feel relevant: "Sometimes the light's all shining on me, other times I can barely see. Lately, it occurs to me, what a long, strange trip it's been." This trip of life we're on can often be overwhelming, uncertain, full of highs and lows, and difficult transitions. Therapy can be a valuable support system to help process these wide-ranging experiences and their impacts while navigating how to cope so that we can cultivate full, meaningful lives.

I work with people who are experiencing pain, grief, anxiety, or confusion - who need help identifying what they want to change. I offer you a safe, supportive time and place. In this confidential space you can be listened to deeply, and you can learn how to listen to yourself. Together, we can nurture a healing connection, or reconnection, to your own wisdom and guidance. My ideal client is one who is open and motivated, who has a deep desire for self-awareness and self-change, and who perceives psychotherapy as part of a process of spiritual growth.

Hey! My name is Kate, and I am so glad you are here! My clinical experience as a therapist has been shaped by my work in both an integrated healthcare setting and family therapy settings, where I have supported a diverse range of clients, including children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families.

Ambiguous loss is the grief that comes without closure, when someone is physically present but psychologically absent (like with addiction or dementia), or physically absent but psychologically present (like after death, estrangement, or adoption).
At Whole Self Counseling, I believe therapy is not about fixing what is broken, but about creating space for what is true. Many of us learn to silence parts of ourselves to stay connected, whether in our families, relationships, or communities. But over time, those compromises take a toll. My role is to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been hidden, exiled, or overwhelmed, so you can move toward a life that feels more honest, connected, and whole.

Choosing a psychotherapist is a very important decision. Talking to someone new about yourself can be intimidating. I provide a setting that is comfortable, safe, and completely confidential. I ask what brings you to see me and what kind of help you feel you need. Sometimes it can be helpful to interview other professionals. Finding a good match is essential and my interest is always in what is best for the client. I do my best to make treatment recommendations and provide services most likely to help you.

Hi, I’m Katherine! I help people with complex trauma and dissociation feel more present, grounded, and connected. I do my best work with teens and young adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, attachment wounding, and grief and loss. My clients often feel overwhelmed by their emotions, struggling to understand them. They may have a hard time feeling safe in relationships. They sometimes feel unsure about who they are and what they want/need. Through coming to therapy, they are hoping to feel more stable, capable of handling what life throws at them, and secure in their relationships with themselves and the people they love.

I believe we are desperate to be both known and loved completely. Most of our experience, however, tells us this is impossible. How could anyone who truly knows me still love me? What kind of love am I really experiencing if they love me but don't know the truth about me? I believe our stories take shape in how we try (and often fail) to reconcile this seeming paradox.

Each individual person has unique gifts and positive personal attributes to discover within themselves. Therapy can be a place to identify personal strengths or to begin to heal from pain. In my approach to therapy, the client is always the expert on their own lives. The most important part of my job is to partner with clients to discover what might be getting in the way of personal growth or relationship satisfaction.

Everyone faces issues in their lives that can overwhelm them or have lasting effects on how they see themselves and the world around them. Sometimes we need somebody that is outside of the situation to listen and help us look at it from a fresh perspective. Sometimes we experience trauma that stays with us and bleeds into our current relationships, affects how we see ourselves, or controls aspects of our lives.

You may be at a point in your life where something deeper is asking for your attention. You’re reflective, curious, and aware that old patterns or unanswered questions are surfacing. Relationships may feel strained, parenthood may have brought unexpected emotions, or you may be juggling many roles while feeling disconnected from yourself. On the outside, things may look fine, yet internally you sense a quiet pull toward understanding yourself more fully and tending to what needs care and healing.
