A Message from Kate

Taking the step to come to counseling can feel a bit daunting, and I want you to know that it's okay to feel that way. I'm here to make this process as safe and supportive for you as possible. In our sessions, it's all about you—your story, your pace. You're the expert of your own life, and I'm here to walk alongside you.

My counseling approach is rooted in Existentialist theory, complemented by elements of Cognitive-Behavioral and Relational-Cultural approaches with a therapeutic relationship grounded in aspects of Person-Centered theory. This means we'll dive into things like finding purpose and meaning, understanding how your thoughts and connections with others shape your experiences, and figuring out how you can make positive change.

Change doesn't happen overnight, and that's perfectly fine. We'll create a motivating, empowering environment where you can explore new perspectives and set achievable goals. My goal is to help you see your own worth, embrace your ability to grow, and support you in living a life that aligns with what matters to you.

In our counseling journey together, you'll start noticing change as you gain new insights, develop coping strategies, and witness positive shifts in your thoughts and behaviors. The most crucial aspect of counseling is the genuine connection we build—the trust, openness, and shared understanding. It's the heart of our collaboration.

I am excited to work with a variety of clients ready to engage in this process with authenticity and a willingness to explore. As your counselor, I'm here to provide a warm and welcoming space where your unique story is honored. Together, we’ll work towards positive transformations that align with your goals and values to make this experience something that feels right for you, step by step. I look forward to supporting you on this journey towards mental health and holistic wellness.
