Meet Kathryn

After a major stressor, loss or transition, it is normal to experience big emotions (new or past) and feel like your ground is unsteady. My mission is to help you uncover your power through an attachment focus so that you can begin to heal and grow from the inside out. By starting where you are, together we will make meaning and create new experiences after a significant change in order to develop a future template for the next phase of your life. I aim to achieve this through a collaborative, strength-based, skill-building and trauma-informed perspective. I am a nonjudgmental and warm therapist with 12 years of experience. I offer short and long-term individualized therapy, with a strong grounding in theory and clinical experience. I employ a cognitive behavioral approach. I am EMDR certified and trauma trained and specialize in working with women. I believe that goodness of fit and a trusting relationship is the key foundational element to the therapeutic process. I will look to you frequently to check-in and ensure that together, we are steering the course. In our work, we will make sense of your story in a space safe enough for new discoveries.

My mission is to help you uncover your power through an attachment focus so that you can begin to heal and grow from the inside out.
