Insight-oriented, trauma-informed work for people ready to move from understanding to integration
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Kate. I work with people who feel emotionally stuck—sometimes in patterns they can name, and sometimes in ways they can’t yet explain. Whether you’re navigating relationship dynamics, career shifts, burnout, identity changes, parenting, or the challenges of building a life in a new place, this work meets you where you are—and helps you move forward with clarity, at a pace that supports real, lasting change.
ABOUT YOU
This work may be a fit if you:• Are highly capable, but your emotions don’t match your reality• Tend to intellectualize or override what you feel• Are self-aware, but stuck in loops you can’t seem to shift• Have tried traditional talk therapy but feel like it’s plateaued• Are navigating big transitions—career, identity, new relationships, parenting, or relocation• Want depth and change, not diagnosis and coping skills• Feel ready to engage deeply—even if you’re not totally sure where to start• Value depth over speed—and are willing to participate in the process, not just observe it
APPROACH
Collaborative, steady, and deeply attuned. This is not a quick-fix solution—it’s a shared process that unfolds through trust and consistent, reflective engagement. You must be willing to bring your experience forward honestly so we can see it, reflect it, and work with it together. The goal isn’t to manage a struggling version of yourself, but to gently and sustainably shift into a self that feels fully available and able to choose relationships, careers, and habits that actually fit.
WORKING TOGETHER
Sessions are structured around your personal goals and held remotely, so you can connect from the comfort of your own space—via video chat or phone.Most clients meet once a week, which tends to offer the best balance of support and integration. If you’re navigating a particularly difficult time, we can increase to twice a week temporarily to provide additional support.Sessions may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your insurance provider. Superbills are available upon request.
BACKGROUND & TRAINING
I’m a trauma-informed practitioner and certified coach with training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Living Therapy (RLT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Transactional Analysis, EMDR-informed methods, attachment theory, and psychodynamic approaches.My work is informed by these modalities and designed to support nervous system regulation, deepened self-trust, and the integration of parts of the self that may have long felt unavailable. I continue to deepen my training through ongoing education with accredited continuing education providers such as PESI (Professional Education Systems Institute), the National Association of Cognitive Behavioral Therapists (NACBT), and the Centre for Healing.
