I am a certified clinical trauma professional and a certified brain injury specialist and I have gained my experience by working in different settings such as correctional environments, in patient and out patient rehabilitation and community based settings.

I’ve been working with Kate for about 2 years through various issues of anxiety, grief and depression. She has helped me every step of the way with her care, patience, listening and feedback. I couldn’t have gotten through some of my darkest days without her support.

Kate is a wonderful listener and provides added insight into topics I bring up. Having her help and support has been so valuable in seeing my own blind spots and given me the ability to work through things on my own.

I cam to Kate a few months ago and I was a MESS to say the least. Kate has been nothing short of AMAZING. I honestly could not have come this far in just a few short months without her! I know my journey is just beginning but I'm so glad to have her in my corner during the process.
