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.

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.

I have had weekly sessions with Kathleen for about two months now. She is such a lovely person with a warm, gentle and nonjudgmental approach and I am constantly looking forward to our sessions. She helps me put into words what I am feeling and how I can address it as well as encouraging me when I make progress or need support. This is the first time I am doing therapy and I feel so lucky to have found her on my first shot! Truly a wonderful therapist and I have seen positive changes in my life because of the work we do in our sessions.

Kathleen has been a great guide and support. She helped me to feel at ease as I took my "first time in therapy" steps. I look forward to every session. Even when I am unsure of what I might say or if I have the energy to meet, I am always glad that I take the time to speak with Kathleen. Thank you.

Written on Jun 01, 2022 after therapy with Kathleen for 1 year and 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue
Kathleen is fantastic! She has provided me with exactly what I needed. There was 2-3 sessions where we really dug into what the crux of my issues were, and from there have consistently worked to improve my self esteem, confidence, and minimize my fears and concerns. While I still struggle a bit, I have improved significantly over the few months that I have been seeing Kathleen! I highly recommend her, especially for others suffering from imposter syndrome, struggling with professional confidence, or personal confidence.

Kathleen and I have been working together for a few months. I had been skeptical of therapy but decided to give it a try because I felt I really needed the guidance and help from a professional. Kathleen has been extremely supportive through the difficult time I have been going through.
