Hi there, I'm Kathleen!

I work with clients experiencing childhood trauma, adult anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transitions, and grief. I use talk therapy as the main way I work with adults, and with children, I use play therapy and talk therapy.

My focus

I can work with many different clients. I have felt very comfortable around children, adults, families, and divorce. I do not work with personality disorders or severe substance abuse.

My approach

I use talk therapy (psychodynamic therapy) as the main way I work with adults, and with children, I use play therapy and talk therapy. Trauma-informed therapy is one of the main modalities I use. I also work a lot with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have been trained in Seeking Safety, Narrative Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and Family Systems.
