About me
I have a Master's Degree in Professional Clinical Counseling and also hold credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been in the field for 9 years and have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns; including depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, trauma, grief, life transitions, and more. As a standard practice, I approach the therapeutic relationship with an acute sensitivity and respect for multi/cross-cultural factors and influence.
I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship, and you, with compassion, respect, and warmth. My counseling style is engaging and person-first. It is important to me to be able to collaborate with you and meet you where you are at in each interaction by incorporating different therapeutic techniques. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, person-centered, trauma informed, and solution focused. Identifying and setting your goals is a team-effort, and together we will work at your comfort level to effectively establish and achieve goals that are tailored to your life while developing healthy skills that encouraging self-discovery.
Outside of my career, I enjoy being outdoors. I enjoy taking walks along trails and parks. I am working towards getting back into jogging. I've played sports and currently play softball on weekends. I strongly advocate the concept of self-care and finding an overall balance in one's life.
It takes a lot of strength and will power to seek counseling and I understand how vulnerable and overwhelming you may feel. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Kathleen is the greatest therapist I've ever had. She is an amazing listener and always offers great advice along with it.

I think she gives me reassurance when I am on the right track with my morals and then questions my thoughts and intentions when she can tell I'm on the fence about somthing that may or may not benefit me

Kathleen is a good listener and can help sort through and narrow down the multitude of thoughts to get at the issues. I really feel heard and like she genuinely wants to help me resolve the problem.
