I was doing therapy about a year ago and needed to stop do to cost. Now I’m back and looking forward to it every day! She has been wonderful, patient, supportive, and makes me feel validated.

Kathleen had helped me so much with my anxiety with my first long term boyfriend. i have a lot of trauma responses from previous exes that have made our first year really rocky but with kathleen’s help she made me realize a lot of it is just in my head and im doing really well communicating and we have a great healthy relationship :)

I have seen Kathleen 3 times now and I have been very comfortable with her from the very beginning. She is a joy to talk to.
