Hi there!!
Are you looking for a safe space with a therapist that gets it? Do you want to feel like you're talking to a real human? You're in the right place!
I’m Kat, a Licensed Professional Counselor. As a therapist, I'm all about meeting you where you're at and helping you get where you want to be. I have a warm, humorous, and laid-back approach to therapy, and I aim to make an environment where my clients can feel 100% safe being themselves. We can also incorporate your interests and expressive arts (music, drawing, painting, movies, etc) to the therapy process if you're down!​

Clinical Expertise & Trainings
Complex TraumaÂ
Grief & Loss
Expressive Arts
Somatic Therapy
My training in C-PTSD focuses on understanding how traumatic experiences can shape emotions, relationships, behaviors, and the nervous system
Supporting grief and loss means creating space to process the many emotions that can arise after a significant loss and to navigate the changes that follow.
Creative approaches to therapy, such as art, music, and writing, can offer meaningful ways to explore emotions and experiences.
Somatic therapy brings attention to the mind-body connection, helping clients notice physical sensations and better understand how stress, emotions, and past experiences may show up in the body.

As a human outside of therapy, I love rock music (emo, classic, metal, goth), horror movies, baking, reading, and crafting. My two black cats are the center of my universe, and I'll yap about them happily.
