About Kate

I’m a counselor, yoga & meditation teacher, & I’m human.

I know what it’s like to be sick & tired of the way things are but also worried about changing what’s familiar. I know the confusion & overwhelm of searching for someone to help you feel better. I know the sense of safety from focusing on what you eat, “fixing” your body, proving your worth through accomplishments, & staying in an unfulfilling relationship. I know the doubt that comes with the idea of giving up behaviors that have “worked” for awhile.

And I know the PEACE that’s on the other side of fear, the FREEDOM of taking up space, & the JOY of living unapologetically.

You can learn to love yourself & enjoy your life. Let this moment be the turning point for you.

My Approach to Therapy:

I believe that everyone is worthy of living a life they love, we are all capable of healing & growth, and all bodies are good bodies. I believe we can only go so far on our own, and lasting change happens in a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, compassion, and understanding. I believe that asking for help is an act of courage, and I acknowledge you for taking this brave step forward.

I aim to hold space for clients to feel heard, seen, and validated. I incorporate my unique background, training, and lived experience as a yoga teacher, counselor, hypnotherapist, & perfectly imperfect human to guide clients toward their goals. My intention is to help you modify beliefs & behaviors that are holding you back from a sense of wholeness, strength, confidence, & zest for life!
