I really can't stand reading therapist bios. They feel like the warning announcement on medication commercials, so I'll try and keep this simple.

I'm Kat. I love clients who are willing to work on themselves. Therapy can be so messy and that's okay! We'll clean it up together. 

Some fun, and some boring, facts about me: I've worked with a variety of populations from hospice to inpatient psych. I think cilantro is an insult to herbs. I despise the phrase, "pull yourself up by the bootstraps." I read a lot. I'm an advocate for mental health education and inclusivity. My favorite colors are black and green. I'm (unapologetically) a hot mess and I'll almost always be in leggings and a t-shirt while we talk. I'm happily medicated for my own mental health. I'm a parent to a couple humans, a few fur babies, and some chickens. I'm married, and confidently winging life. My office is a little jungle, my pup comes with me to work most days.  My humor is dark and I'm hard to offend. I'm certified in trauma treatment and absolutely no topic is off limits in my office.

I wish there was a road map to existing after trauma but since there isn't, I strive to make my office a safe space for you to unpack your history and work to write out the future you want. I'm certainly not for everyone, and I'm okay with that but if I haven't lost you yet, I think you deserve to have a person. I can be your person.
