Hello. My name is Kathleen. I feel honored in my role as a therapist to help hold space to engage in emotional difficulties that have an impact on individual’s lives.
I believe that all individuals are capable of change and growth. My primary focus as a therapist is symptom reduction and increased day-to-day functioning. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I assist individuals to achieve better awareness of themselves by being able to articulate how thoughts and feelings relate to behavior.
The emphasis of my practice is to provide high quality, evidence-based care to those being impacted by various medical and psychosocial concerns. My experience is wide-ranging both in setting and with diagnoses. I have training in motivational interviewing, behavioral activation, CBT and DBT, and completed a 30-week post-graduate course in family systems theory and technique at the Ackerman Institute for the Family.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Compassion fatigue, ADHD
