My name is Kate, and I am a provisionally licensed professional counselor who works with teens (14+) and adults navigating personality disorders, sexual dysfunction, betrayal or religious trauma, substance use, and relationship or intimacy concerns. I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and experience supporting individuals with serious mental illness, as well as teaching sex education and connection skills for individuals and couples. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their challenges, feel understood, and begin to build meaningful change. My philosophy is that therapy should be practical, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based approaches. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage emotions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to build on existing strengths, and psychoeducation to improve understanding of sexual health and relationships. I work alongside clients to deepen self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and develop tools for healing and growth.
