Kate began her career in psychotherapy by way of Washington D.C., where she worked at a creative consultancy. While she enjoyed brand storytelling, she found that what she truly loved was listening to the diverse array of human stories behind the brands. In the therapy room, Kate recognizes the great privilege that is being allowed into another person’s story while it is still ongoing, in the midst of chapters that might be painful or uncertain. It is here that she creates a refuge for clients, providing a safe space of authenticity, honesty, and humor along the way.

 

Kate’s work as a therapist is rooted in her belief that true healing must take into account our full humanity – psychology, biology, and spirituality. As a result, Kate’s therapeutic orientation is holistic, incorporating a variety of clinically tested and evidence-based approaches to allow each client to receive individualized care. She uses a trauma-informed, person-centered approach, integrating elements of traditional therapies with somatic work and mindfulness-based practices. Kate is also trained in EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a therapeutic approach that uses eye movements to reprocess traumatic events so that the disturbing material is remembered and felt in a new and less distressing way.

 

Kate works with a wide variety of men and women of all ages. She has experience working with attachment issues, anxiety, codependency, depression, emotional regulation, grief and loss, high sensitivity (HSP), life transitions, relationship problems, trauma (physical/emotional/religious), whole-body wellness, and more. 

 

Outside of work, Kate can be found catching a live music concert with her husband or friends, working out at barre class, fumbling a Great British Bakeoff recipe, or creating (yet another) Spotify playlist.
