Kate is extremely empathetic and also has such a bright energy to be around, which I think is especially helpful for people with anxiety like myself. Every time I finish a session with Kate, my loved ones notice that my mood changes. If you are ready for change, Kate will be by your side to take big steps or baby steps to get to your goal; she will also support you if you take one step forward and two steps back. Kate is also wonderful at checking in with how you are feeling and if certain techniques/strategies are working for you. My favorite thing about Kate is she is honest and real about her human-ness and how her background has shaped her, and she uses this realness to genuinely connect with her clients.
