A Bit About Kate

I am a trauma-focused therapist with over 15 years in private practice, specializing in deep healing work through ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, somatic therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, and advanced nervous system-based modalities. My approach is rooted in the belief that lasting healing happens not only through insight and conversation, but through working directly with the body, nervous system, and subconscious patterns where trauma is often stored.

​

I have trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) work with Richard Schwartz and integrate IFS principles alongside ketamine-assisted therapy to help clients access deeper levels of healing, self-understanding, and emotional integration. I believe that when clients are supported in connecting compassionately with the different parts of themselves, profound and lasting transformation becomes possible.

​

I work with individuals seeking deeper transformation beyond traditional talk therapy, helping clients heal trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, relational pain, grief, and long-standing emotional patterns. I integrate evidence-based and experiential approaches to create a therapeutic process that is both grounded and deeply transformative.

​

My work emphasizes safety, attunement, and the body’s innate capacity to heal when given the right environment and support. Through modalities such as EMDR and Brainspotting, clients are able to access and process experiences that may feel difficult to reach cognitively alone. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can further support this process by helping clients access deeper emotional states, increase flexibility in the nervous system, and move through entrenched patterns with greater openness and connection.

​

I am passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, develop nervous system regulation, strengthen relationships, and experience healing at a deeper level rather than simply managing symptoms. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, intuitive, and deeply relational, creating a space where clients feel seen, challenged, and supported in meaningful growth.
