(she/her)
Hello, I'm Kattera. Are you feeling overwhelmed or being stretched thin? Are you looking for a positive outlet and someone safe to talk to? Are you having a hard time with negative or intrusive thoughts? Are you struggling with self-esteem or having confidence? Having challenges in your relationships? I am here to help and support you along your journey. I can help to identify those negative things in your life and explore ways to ease anxiety, depression, worry, and thoughts of self-doubt. Together, we can explore ways to create balance and address your health as a whole so that you can find the peace and confidence you are looking for. Therapy can feel kind of scary in the beginning, but taking that first step can be a life changer. You deserve a safe and healthy place to learn, grow, and become the person that you want to be. Healing takes time and I know that healing can happen. I truly believe in the power of therapy and the safety of the therapeutic relationship to help guide you in your healing journey. You are not alone in this process. Together, we will find ways for you to navigate and overcome the barriers that arise and create new meaning in your life. I am so excited to work with you and to support you in attaining the life that you want and are looking forward to.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I will share with you more about myself, both personally and professionally. I want to know any experiences that you have had with therapy including what has worked and what hasn't. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have worked in a variety of settings over the past 10 years. I worked with substance use and severe mental health in a hospital setting. I have a background in community care and working with youth. I feel confident with working with children and families. I am skilled in both individual and family therapy. I have worked with a variety of clients including those who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidality, system-involved youth, substance use, members of the LGBTQ+ community, transitioning clients, family conflict, and a wide variety of other needs. I look so forward to getting to know you and working with you!

My treatment methods
Humanistic
I believe that therapy is a journey that the client and therapist take together. I will bring in different theories with a focus on humanistic, strengths-based, and reality based methods. I will bring kindness, nurturing, and warmth to our sessions with a balance of challenging thoughts, asking difficult questions and pushing when it is appropriate and safe to do so.

I appreciated how welcoming she was at the very start of our first session, sharing some personal information about her life to highlight her as an individual. She was direct and transparent in her therapy style, her values and her goals for her clients. I immediately felt a connection to her which was welcoming and aided in easing my fears.
