I work with individuals, couples/couples issues, and teens. I specialize in addiction, anxiety, depression and women's issues including lifestyle modifications. I help to bring comfort to the discomfort and cultivate safety where there's survival. I'll help you improve your self dialogue and hone honesty which is the root of recovery.

Kathryn is easy going and very easy to get close to. You feel heard and she helps analyze your feelings negative or positive and helps you to think of them in a different light.

As a first time receiver of therapy, Kathryn has been incredibly patient, flexible, and supportive. I am grateful for the safe space she has created.

She is an amazing therapist and I have loved my time with her! She is so sympathetic, but also brings the reality into situations. I would recommend her 10/10!

Kathryn makes me feel heard and I trust her the way I would trust a family friend or a close aunt. She’s slightly older than me I believe but that means she’s close enough in age to understand what I’m going through. I feel safe telling her anything and with each appointment she is helping me get out of this hole I’ve dug myself in. 10/10 recommend, but I also want to keep her forever so I’m hoping as she grows I can still be in her circle

I finally found a therapist who build trust and help me understand myself in a way when I don’t feel pressured. She supports me and I always leave our sessions uplifted. I really gained self confidence and positive attitude after few weeks of therapy.
