Kate is wonderful. I always “chickened out” on doing therapy before, but Kate has made me feel comfortable from day one. She is very caring and helps me work through things in a different light than I’d ever considered or knew about before. I’d highly recommend her.

I have loved working with Kate! She listens very well, is very personable, and has incorporated faith into sessions beautifully! I’m so thankful that she has quickly (in 2 sessions) helped me to identify my negative thought patterns and given me resources, ideas, and support at combatting them. Would 10/10 recommend her!
