Meet Kathryn

Therapy is an opportunity for you to experience grace in a way that allows you to explore your past and present, to engage with whatever issues you may be currently facing, to take ownership of your future choices, and to understand your reality in meaningful ways for the purpose of growing and flourishing. The beauty of therapy is that you do not have to do this alone, because therapy is a collaborative process. My goal for this process is to create a safe space where our therapeutic relationship can develop authentically, where you will experience freedom to explore and process your story while moving toward a deeper sense of self-awareness, meaning, and renewal.

My Background

I have worked with clients ranging from less than a year old to clients who are in their 80s. Whether I’m working with adults or with children, my therapeutic style is process-oriented, meaning that I focus on what comes up during the session, which is often determined by what you-the-client bring into the room. I like to incorporate creative mediums such as art, when appropriate and when there is interest, to help you access parts of yourself that may not be as easily expressed through spoken word. I believe that healing happens when you have the opportunity to tell your story in a safe, caring space. As a Christian therapist, I conceptualize mental health from a biblical perspective. I am passionate about integrating faith-based, biblical counseling into treatment, if requested by the client. I would consider it a privilege to come alongside you and join you in your journey of exploration, growth, and healing.

Areas of Focus

I focus on; Aging, Attachment, Biblical Counseling, Depression, Faith, Grief & Loss, Life Stages and Transitions, Relationships, and Trauma.
