Hi, I’m Kathryn, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Work. Are you having a hard time with some element of life? Feeling stuck or bogged down? I utilize a person-centered and strengths-based approach with clients across all of life’s struggles and joys. There is a philosophy known as “companioning,” often used in grief counseling. Dr. Alan Wolfelt describes companioning as “walking alongside” someone during difficult times. My goal is to create a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences with curiosity and compassion. Together we will discover your strengths and challenges, uncover patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and learn strategies to not only cope with life, but to live into it fully and authentically. Please feel free to contact me for a free 15 minutes consultation to discuss what you’re looking for and answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. Or dive right in and schedule an appointment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first visit we will get to know each other. I'll ask some questions to get a broad overview of your life today and experiences and we'll discuss your goals for therapy.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I have experience working with diverse populations and focusing on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic illness, disordered eating, and life transitions. Additionally, I am able to do bariatric assessments and preparation for those considering bariatric surgery. I use a mindfulness-based approach and draw from different therapeutic modalities such as Acceptance Commitment, Narrative, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Solution-Focused and Psychoanalytic and Existential therapies.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is creating safe and compassionate environment to really explore what’s going on for you without judgment.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with adults of all ages, from varying background. My clients are open motivated to grow and willing try the tools we discuss outside of session.
