Kathy approaches each client with openness and supportive, nonjudgmental acceptance of their unique strengths, concerns, and goals. She works with older adolescents and adults, helping them understand difficult experiences and find opportunities for healing.
She sees her role as a guide who provides tools for change. Kathy believes a collaborative partnership can help clients manage feelings, make meaningful changes, and move toward their goals.
Kathy has provided individual, group, and couples counseling for more than 35 years. She has extensive experience supporting people who have experienced physical, sexual, and emotional trauma, from early childhood through adulthood.
Throughout her career, she has also worked with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and crises. She helps clients identify the experiences that cause distress, both past and present, and learn and practice techniques that support change.
Kathy specializes in trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She supports clients who experience intense distress or struggle to make sense of their emotions, memories, and experiences. Her work helps clients understand the protective parts of themselves that hold painful emotions and may make it difficult to feel comfort and safety in the present.
Her approach combines emotional exploration with practical tools for managing feelings and changing behaviors. As an active person, Kathy values physical movement and mindfulness as elements of the change process and incorporates “walking and talking” therapy when appropriate.
