Meet Kate

Hey! I’m Kate (pronouns she/her/hers)

I’m a queer clinician who specializes in working with athletes, professionals, young adults, teams, and schools. I know how hard it can be to initiate a mental health journey - if you’re here, you’ve already begun. I provide a safe and welcoming space where you can explore anything and everything without judgement. You are the expert of YOU, I am here to learn from you and to support, challenge, and help you get where you want to go.

My Approach

My approach to therapy is very individualized. There is no “one size fits all,” as each person is different. I love to celebrate everyone’s unique humanity. With that, I draw from many different evidenced-based modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and person-centered therapy. During the first few sessions, I am trying to get a sense of where you are coming from as my client (individual or team), so I can meet you exactly where you are: (Why are you seeking therapy at this time? What are you hoping to get out of this experience? What has your previous experience with therapy been like?). The first session is also a time for you to begin to get a sense of my style. Even though the first session is typically more structured than most, it is a great way to start assessing my fit for you. The therapy space is for you, and therapist-client fit is a fundamental piece of the puzzle. Progress looks differently for everyone, and will be discussed collaboratively throughout our therapeutic relationship.
