Deeply committed to supporting healing.
Someone who enjoys making others feel comfortable while approaching life with care and thoughtfulness.
I read in my free time
I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where everyone is accepted exactly as they are and can feel truly seen and heard. I work with LGBTQIA+, and Women's Issues and I am kink-aware
I bring a warm, free-spirited, and creative approach to therapy, always considering the whole person and their individual path.
I stay curious, continually learning new approaches so therapy can be tailored to each person’s unique needs, and I genuinely enjoy connecting with people on their journey.
I started practicing because I’ve seen how transformative healing can be. Supporting someone through their journey and witnessing the profound changes that come from growth, understanding, and self-discovery is truly life-changing—and it’s what inspires me every day..

What My Clients have Said
-
Kate creates a truly safe space where I feel comfortable digging deep and exploring parts of myself that aren’t always easy to face. Trust does not come easily to me. However, with her my masks vanished immediately and completely. Kate has a remarkable way of challenging my thinking in a positive and meaningful way. She helps me see all sides of the die, so to speak, broadening my perspective without ever making me feel judged.
