About Me
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read about me. My name is Kathryn and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been working in the behavioral health field for over ten years; and doing direct counseling for the past four years. I received my Master of Science Degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix Arizona. After graduation I worked as an in-home counselor with families struggling with interpersonal relationships, communication difficulties, substance abuse, and trauma. I have experience working with individuals dealing with addictions and recovery, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder.
I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, who uses a person-centered approach with an emphasis on being mindful and solution focused. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy that is used to treat several psychological disorders such as phobias, addiction, depression and anxiety. My goal as your therapist will be to help you feel safe, to build rapport, and trust in me as your therapist and in the therapeutic process. I will work collaboratively with you to help you achieve your personal life goals and help to improve your responses to difficult life situations. I utilize empathy, motivational interviewing, and active listening techniques to support in having a truly wonderful counseling experience.
I am truly looking forward to working and growing together with you.

Reviews
Kathryn has a very grounding presence. I feel calm when talking to her and feel that she is really listening.
Kathryn makes me feel really comfortable talking with her. You can tell she's invested in what I'm telling her, and has an honest approach to each scenario.
I'm so glad that I was matched with Kathryn. She is so personable and understanding with great insight. She makes you feel comfortable discussing issues and lets you know that you are not alone. Her client focused approach guides me towards making my own decisions and coming up with my own solutions . She is really helping me through this rough patch in my life.
Kathryn is great, i wish i could have one phone call per week since we don't use the chat very often. i do think she's super helpful, it's just that when i go to schedule a time, it's usually every other week she has openings.
Kathryn has been very easy to talk with from the get-go. She is very understanding, calming, down-to-earth, and sensible in her counseling approach.
Kathryn is very straight forward and real. I love it, because she is genuinely concerned, and gives the most helpful advice. She has helped me in so many ways, especially with my confidence.
Kathryn is very helpful and understanding. Gives it to you straight but in a gentle way while also providing a real world perspective on how to do things different.
Kathryn first helped me determine what I needed from our meetings. Then was able to work me through why I didn’t have those things already. She provided a comfortable environment for me to explore what needed to change. Then, she helped me start implementing tools to strengthen those weaknesses. I felt so stuck by what I thought was poor character. Now I feel excited for the future and so much better prepared to face challenges.
Kathryn made me feel comfortable and safe. She provided me with information and tools that helped me understand how I could work on my problems. She is a fantastic resource.
This is my first time doing virtual counseling. Kathryn has made me feel comfortable and open from our very first session. I would highly recommend her.
Katherine is extremely helpful and a great listener, she has helped me gain better insight to my problems and gives me good solutions to them.
Very helpful, I am confusing when I express myself and she has a great way of getting down to my real issues. Highly recommended!
I've only had two video sessions so far with Kathryn, but so far I'm happy with her skills and ability to help. She's a good listener, has good practices to recommend, and is knowledgeable in her skill set.
A very straight to the point person who has a patient's best interest in mind.
Kathryn has been very helpful in processing the events in my life and has given me different perspectives that have helped me accept things while still acknowledging my feelings. I hope to continue counseling with her in the future.
Kathryn is great to work with and very helpful in many different aspects. She is quick to respond and follows up when necessary.
She has been great. Following up with me regularly and checking in to make sure I’m ok. She seems really great. I’m looking forward to future sessions with her.
