About Me

Hi, I’m Kathleen.

For over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of sitting across the couch from people going through some of their hardest moments, and I’ve seen how transformative it can be when someone finally feels safe enough to slow down and look inward.

I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and a particular kind of overwhelm that comes with parenting. A lot of people I work look like they have it all together from the outside, but on the inside, they are exhausted, self-critical, and running on empty. If that sounds familiar, you are in the right place.

I’m described as warm, non-judgemental, and direct. I am here to help you navigate your inner world, not tell you what to do or how to do it. I’ll gently help you connect the dots between what you are feeling now and where it may come from. Because discovering this thread in itself can bring about relief.

Outside of my work, I’m a mother of two small children and enjoy spending time outdoors with my family and dog.

Feel like we could be a fit? I’d love to hear from you. Please reach out for a free consult.
