I am a doctoral level Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I graduated with a master's degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University in 2005 and my Doctorate in Social Work in 2023. I am currently teaching at a local university, but spent 20 years working with a variety of individuals from the very young to the aged. My clients have dealt with a wide range of issues including grief and loss, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse and trauma, addiction, and codependency. I am passionate about helping others and always feel privileged to be able to walk with someone on their journey. We are all human beings with life experiences that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us, but there comes a point where want to break free from those past experiences and create a new vision.
I am a relational therapist and have been trained in many different treatment modalities including EMDR, DBT, and CBT. I tend to utilize interventions and techniques grounded in Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral therapies depending on the clients' individualized needs. I believe everyone has the power within themselves to create the life they want, sometimes it just takes a little support and guidance to help us start moving in the right direction. I would love to be that support for you!

Kathryn has helped me change my life - my thinking and what will be my story. I look forward to life like I never thought I would and although I have done the work, Kathryn’s guidance and expertise is consistently spot on. She is truly with you all the way.

Kathryn has been amazing to work with. She listens, reaches out if I’m not that active, and challenges me when needed. I felt very comfortable and understood talking with her when I was stuck or in a low place!

Kathryn is an active listener. You can see in her expression as she listens that she is truly trying to understand everything that you are emoting. It also comes across in the productive questions she asks you. She is very much an active therapist--she wants to help you find answers and solutions to your problems. Most importantly, she makes you feel at ease like an awesome auntie would. I highly recommend her as a counselor.

I've never been so happy with my therapy situation before. I've found someone who can work with me not just with my mental state, but also with my schedule. Not only is Kathryn great at working with your timing, but also I appreciate the gentleness, openness, and positivity of Kathryn's approach. The help I've been given was life changing.
