Kathleen is slowly building a map of my life experience to help track current behavioral issues that spring from deep survival habits formed in childhood and early adolescence which still trigger me as an adult.

Have been in therapy multiple times over several decades and this has been my best experience by far. I’ve made more progress in the last few months working with Kathleen than I had working over years with others. I genuinely look forward to our sessions.

I appreciate Kathleens open kindness. She has walked me through hardships, that were very difficult to dissect. I can tell she loves to help her patients. I was able to learn tools to help myself during anxiety triggered responses. Thank you for the work you do!
