Hi, I’m Kathleen
I’m so glad you’re here.
I have had a lifelong interest in mental health and wellness. From the first time I started learning about psychology as a pre-teen, I was hooked. As a social worker, I have intentionally focused my education and experience on considering the whole person in their environment and understanding each individual from their unique worldview.
I have been working in the field of mental health since 2004. My professional experience spans from hospice work, to crisis intervention, sexual assault, adoption, and hospital settings. I found that no matter the setting in which I was working, issues of grief and loss kept coming up for the people I was helping.
Most recently before starting my own private practice, I spent five years as a hospice social worker supporting dying patients and their family members, and I have sought out further grief and loss training (including studying Complicated Grief Treatment from the Center for Complicated Grief at Columbia University, for prolonged grief disorder).
I am committed to having an open and affirming practice for people of all races, ethnicities, religions, genders, sexualities, and abilities. My pronouns are she/her/hers.
My clients appreciate that I bring my whole heart to my work. They feel that I understand that they are the expert of their own grief and loss experiences. They know nothing is off-limits, no thought or feeling will be judged, and that this is a safe place to get it all out.
That's why I hope you'll contact me today to get started.
I am honored to be a part of your therapeutic process.
