Hi, and welcome to my profile. If you are here, you are most likely interested in making positive changes in your life. Whether you are wanting to improve a relationship, uncover patterns that are causing you to repeat the same old mistakes, or find relief from constant struggles with anxiety or depression, I would love to help you find your way. Together we can discover the fears, beliefs and judgments that stand in your way, and finally transform those beliefs so that you can move forward in your life. I am a seasoned therapist who loves working with adults of all ages who are successful in their lives, but who want to improve upon that success. You may only need a few sessions to get you where you want to go, or you may want to take a deeper dive into exploring the obstacles you are facing and the reasons you are feeling stuck or unhappy. My job, as a successful therapist, is to provide you with the help you are seeking so you can one day say "Thank you Kate, I got what I needed!"
In our first session, I will ask you some questions to help me get to know you, and I will answer any questions you may have. Then we will dive in, identify the first problem you want to work on, and create a plan of action.
I believe my greatest strengths as a therapist are: (1) my years of life experience and my 25 plus years in the business of helping others lead happier lives;(2) my compassion for how hard we are all trying to find our way in life; and (3) my certainty that we each have the capacity to heal and grow. I have developed these qualities through my passion to find answers to our deepest questions about life.
I love working with successful adults who are interested in maximizing their personal and professional lives.
I have been using mindfulness-based therapy, along with other modalities, for the past 25 years as a way to help my clients get in touch with feelings they may have been afraid of exploring, and to understand the connection between their thoughts and feelings and their ability to live the life they want to live!
