LMFT, 25 years of experience
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice located in Manteca, CA. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Holy Names College in Oakland, CA. Experiencing this profession as a healing art has impacted my faith in client's transformational change. My relationship with the practice of psychotherapy has grown from wonderment during the earlier years, to outright joy in these present times.
In the first session clients can expect to express their hopes and expectations for their desired achievements with therapy sessions.
In my 25 years of experience working with clients I find values in being a good listener, nonjudgmental, having a good memory and working well with all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. The experienced gained from years of practice has impacted the ease in which care is given and received, and treatment plans are formulated.
I have worked most often with clients who report anxiety/depression in their lives. What I like most in working with anxiety/depression is strategically collaborating with clients as they find their way back to wellness and positive functionality.

Kathleen assists me in finding my own solutions to life situations which in turn provides me with feelings of strength and resilience during times of great stress. Knowing that I have the power to survive tough time while still finding joy and hope in the situation has helped me to look at life’s challenges through a slightly different lens. I’m still a work in progress, but I’m starting to heal.

With Kathleen I am able to notice my own weakness and my strength. And I also am noticing my abilities to grow mentally and emotionally to become a rehabilitated individual in my own environment and society in general.
