I have trained throughout the healthcare continuum including psychiatric emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and consult liaison services. *I am not currently accepting new clients seeking stimulant medications for ADHD* *I am not currently accepting child/adolescent patients*

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I manage and treat a wide range of mental health concerns including suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, and sleep disorders. I provide comprehensive mental health services to adolescents and adults incorporating medication, psychotherapy, and lifestyle modification.

Listening, problem-solving, safety planning, crisis resolution, suicidal thoughts, anxious/intrusive thoughts. I also provide genetic testing utilizing GeneSight to assist in medication selection and identification of gene-drug interactions or the MTHFR gene polymorphism.

I am not currently accepting patients seeking stimulant medications for ADHD. Initial consultations are 60 minutes and follow up appointments range from 20-30 minutes. I can also provide a free 15-minute phone consultation prior to our sessions, so don't hesitate to let me know if you're interested.

I’ve been seeing Kathryn for a couple months. I love her so much!! She’s easy to talk to. Maybe not for everyone but for me she was the right fit. We get along and I feel very comfortable talking to her. She’s helped me feel confident and not alone. I’m very thankful for her. She’s an amazing human. She listens well. Doesn’t push. Genuinely cares. Just amazing. I’m definitely sticking around for a while.

I started the session out by stating that I wasn't a fan of therapy but by the end of the first meeting she had changed my mind! I look forward to our next scheduled appointment.
