Hi, I'm Kate

I work with both emerging adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing, identity exploration, LGBTQIA+ experiences, women’s issues, and seasons of transition. 

 

I especially enjoy working with college students, post-grads, and high-achieving people who may look like they’re doing well on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are underneath all the expectations.

 

Our work isn’t about finding more ways to improve or “fix” yourself. Instead, we’ll get curious about the parts of you that learned to perform, protect, please, or perfect—and explore what it might feel like to meet yourself with more compassion, tenderness, and care.

 

Above all, I want therapy to feel like a human place and a gentle space to land. There will be room for the hard and vulnerable things, but there will also be room to laugh together, talk about the things you love, celebrate who you are, and simply be human. You don’t have to show up perfectly here, either. I do my best work when you feel safe enough to be open, honest, and authentically yourself—even when that self feels messy, uncertain, or still figuring things out.

 

My style is highly relational, emotion-focused, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion, while also drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We’ll move at your pace, building a relationship where you can safely share the deeper parts of yourself and reconnect with who you are beneath the expectations you’ve carried.

 

It is an honor to walk alongside people as they rediscover themselves, deepen the care they have for who they are, and create lives that feel more meaningful, connected, and alive.

 

You don’t need to earn softness here. You’re allowed to simply arrive.

 

In my spare time, I love to read, swim in rivers, go on weekend trips with friends, and enjoy a great homemade iced americano.
