About me

Hello my name is Kathleen,
My therapeutic style is warm, focused, interactive and compassionate. My style includes the ability to be structural and direct. Having worked in this field for 20 years I have gained my therapy experience from a range of concerns and populations.I completed my master's degree in Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University in California. Now I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida.
I will treat you as a unique individual and customize the therapy to meet your situation. I have enjoyed working in many different states from the East to West coast. This cultural experience makes my practice, one that is sensitive to many from a variety of cultural backgrounds and experiences.
As your therapist my approach is multidimensional drawing from Cognitive Behavioral, Positive Psychology, and Solution Focused.It would be my privilege to work with you in a safe and nonjudgmental space as you process, through the challenges life is presenting you right now.
Let's explore your goals together and I will assist you in finding the joy you deserve in life. You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help.

In such short time of being in therapy Kathleen has helped me in such way I am glad I found her .

Kathleen has been instrumental in me having positive journey making needed changes during this stage of my life and marriage. She has helped me to recognize areas I needed to address for my well being with some difficult circumstances and encouraged me to engage in self care. She has helped guide me to set boundaries that are compassionate. She is very insightful and gentle and patient in her approach and an excellent listener! I feel completely comfortable to share anything with her and not feel any judgement! I would highly recommend her, especially for anyone trying to work through challenging relationships and/or compassion care.

Kathleen is amazing. The first therapist (after a lifetime of therapists) that actually “gets” me. She is thoughtful, experienced and makes me feel safe. Highly recommended.
