Kate is a relationally oriented therapist who believes that while relationships can be a source of deep harm, they are also the most essential—and non-negotiable—space for healing. She views therapy as a process rooted in connection, where it is with-ness, rather than isolation, that allows us to move through what feels stuck and begin to shift.

Kate works to create a warm, authentic, and collaborative therapeutic space where humor is welcome and clients feel both safe and brave enough to explore the harder parts of their stories. Together, she and her clients gently move toward what feels difficult, lingering with curiosity and care, and returning with a greater sense of clarity, capacity, and ease.

She is especially drawn to the “in-between” spaces—life transitions, identity exploration, and the more tender or taboo aspects of being human. Kate supports clients in re-authoring their stories in ways that honor their inherent strength, agency, and humanity. Her work is grounded in a strengths-based, attachment-focused approach, integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work), mindfulness, somatic awareness, and polyvagal-informed care.

Kate works with individuals and couples across a wide range of identities, including diverse experiences of gender, sexuality, and relationship structures. She has a special interest in the perinatal and postpartum period, drawing from her experience as both a parent and former birth doula. She supports clients navigating pregnancy, postpartum transitions, pregnancy loss, and the complex emotional terrain of becoming a parent—especially while grieving the loss of one’s own parent.

She also feels deeply honored to support clients moving through grief in all its forms, particularly when it is complicated, ambiguous, or not widely recognized.

Kate holds a Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy from Antioch University, as well as an MFA in Fiction Writing. Her background also includes visual arts, theatre, improv comedy, inclusive sex education, hospice care, and herbal medicine—experiences that inform her creative, holistic, and deeply human approach to therapy.

Outside of her work, Kate is a parent to a toddler, two hilarious and ever-hungry middle-aged cats, and a lively gluten-free sourdough starter.
