My name is Kate. I am a psychotherapist with 20 years experience in the field. My practice is LGBTQI+ focused, though clients of all identities work with me. Clients come to me to reduce distress and bring ease into their lives. I practice affirmative therapy that is trauma-informed, nonjudgmental, and direct. I view therapy as a collaborative journey towards self-discovery, healing, and symptom relief. During our first therapy session, we will outline your goals, discuss your expectations, and leave plenty of time for you to ask questions. We will create a therapy plan together that provides an environment for you to explore needs, process your past and present, and identify new approaches to challenges in your life. I utilize psychodynamic psychotherapy, behavioral therapies such as DBT and ACT, and attachment-focused psychotherapy. I believe therapy is an evolving process between client and therapist, and methods can shift as therapy unfolds. I conduct all sessions remotely via zoom. I have current availability for individual sessions and gender affirming surgery letters.

“I just want to feel happy.” Or “why are relationships so hard for me?” Or maybe, “I wish I didn’t worry ALL the time.” If these lines have run through your mind, you’re not alone. And you’ve come to the right place! My style is warm, genuine, and practical. I use humor and honesty to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can be your true, authentic self. I believe the key to progress in therapy is developing insight into patterns (relationships, behaviors, and thoughts), while learning concrete skills to make real tangible changes in the here and now. Taking the leap into therapy can be daunting and it’s important to find someone you feel comfortable with. I encourage you to take the first step and schedule a free 15 min consultation to discuss your goals and how I can help you reach them. I look forward to getting to know you!

We are moved to seek mental health treatment when traditional methods of self-care are not enough, when life becomes too much to handle on our own. Regardless of your specific issues, we will be exploring the ways in which creativity (especially music) can help you meet the challenges you face. Through our artistic collaboration and talk therapy, we will be able to discover patterns of thought and ways of relating that may be transformed through greater self-knowledge. Being musically talented is not a prerequisite for music therapy, just experience with the immense depth of feeling that music provides. As a humanistically oriented therapist, empathy forms the foundation of my practice. All material is welcome in sessions, and will be met with unconditional care. Part of our work together will be expanding our understanding of the material you present, and how best to use music to achieve your goals.

Hi! I am always impressed with the courage and resilience that brings people to therapy in search of who they are meant to be. Many of my clients come to me with a desire to improve their relationships with themselves and with others. My aim is to guide you towards your inner wisdom and becoming your most authentic self. To do so, I am committed to creating an environment where you can explore freely and challenge yourself. My style is down-to-earth and good-humored. I enjoy collaborating with clients on finding the roots of an issue and engaging their strengths for healing and growth. I integrate creative and evidence-based methods to resolve and renew what words cannot. As someone who is dedicated to providing the best care possible, I also combine insights with some of the most efficient, brain-smart methods available.
Perhaps you have been feeling held back by unhelpful thoughts and feelings (worry, doubt, self-criticism) that get in the way or prevent you from living in the present moment. Or maybe you keep engaging in the same patterns of behavior over and over again, rather than moving toward the things you care about most. We partner with our clients to help them find new ways to navigate anxiety, OCD, low mood, and difficult life transitions. Our approach is focused on what is happening in the present while also honoring how your past experiences and identities shape where you are today. We use evidence-based treatments backed by science (including CBT, ACT, Exposure and Response Prevention) to help you reduce suffering and respond more flexibly to life’s many challenges. If you are exhausted by your obsessions, badgered by your inner critic, or trapped in anxious thought loops, you have come to the right place. To learn more, get in touch by phone or email to schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation.

Weaving through life can be so many things. It can be joyful, exciting, stressful, overwhelming, really whatever word we want to place to describe it. At some points in time it can be incredibly difficult. Everyone has their own unique experiences in life, struggles and obstacles are part of it. It can be overwhelming at times. Learning how to navigate through the more difficult times can be challenging but ultimately rewarding. My therapeutic approach is uniquely tailored to the client and collaborated with them based on their goals and experiences. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) we will explore your experiences and ignite change. Our work together will empower you to look within yourself, build acceptance, and better your relationship with yourself and with others. Therapy can be an uncomfortable and intimidating experience but it can also be very healing. I strive to make sure you feel accepted, heard, and validated in your experiences. When you are ready, give me a call to schedule our first session and we can embark on this journey together. If you see your insurance listed, please ask me to verify coverage when you arrange your first visit. Feel free to call or email me for a free 15 minute consultation
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to live authentically and understand your own story. You can live a life that excites you. If you are working through life transitions, trauma, or are looking to deepen your understanding of yourself and enhance connection with others, I can help you on your path. Peeling the layers of trauma takes courage, strength, and inner power. I work through a social justice lens with an understanding that societal influence/injustice impacts individuals and communities. I have over ten years of experience in mental health and specialized training in trauma. I offer a compassionate space where you can explore what may be affecting you, find ways to move past it, feel empowered to work toward becoming the best version of yourself, and learn to live with greater purpose and intentionality.

You’ve been wondering why you do & feel the things you do—why specific behaviors keep repeating, why you feel stuck, no matter how much you try to change. You’ve done the self-help books, the podcasts, maybe a few short-term therapy stints, but you still find yourself repeating the same patterns. I help curious, motivated people ready to go deeper than symptom management. Together, we’ll explore the hidden patterns, emotional blocks, & past experiences that still shape your present. Our work will be thoughtful & challenging in the best way — the kind of therapy that helps you grow in ways you didn’t know were possible. My approach blends Psychodynamic Therapy with elements of CBT, DBT, Black feminist theory, empowerment, and sociopolitical thought. This allows us to work at both a deep, exploratory level and a practical, skill-based level, always tailored to you. Therapy can be challenging at times—it asks you to face yourself honestly—but it can also be profoundly enriching and life-changing. I work best with clients who are ready to commit to weekly, twice-weekly, or thrice-weekly sessions, so we can create the momentum & depth needed for real transformation. If you’re ready to begin that journey, send me an email.
We are all hard-wired to feel and to connect to others, yet so many of us are scared of our feelings. We are afraid of being overwhelmed by them and of being dismissed or ignored by others if we share them. It is our fear of feeling and fear of revealing that causes us to experience symptoms of distress and disconnection from ourselves and from each other. In our sessions and through the psychotherapeutic model of AEDP, we focus on getting past this fear in order to fully embrace our feelings. Our work together is not about you simply retelling your story; it's about you embracing and sharing the emotions that come up as you tell it. By learning to be authentic and transparent with your feelings, you will feel calmer and more confident while experiencing deeper connections. Ultimately, your true self will emerge.

Sometimes life gets too heavy and professional therapy can help guide you towards acceptance & healing. Whether you're wanting to tackle adjusting to college, strengthening your relationships, or managing any feelings around anxiety or depression, I'd love to help guide you on your inner healing journey.
