Welcome In!
I'm so glad you're here
It can be a big deal to reach out for help. Finding the right fit for you in a therapist is the most important factor in the success of this work. My wish is that the info on this page helps you to tune into whether our paths are aligned.
​
Our identities inform the lens with which we see the world. To the degree that my identity is important to you, know that I am queer, neurodiverse, gender fluid, and a child of the sea, forest, and mountains. I have children and cats, I have been married, and am very happily partnered. Currently, I reside on Coastal Miwak land in Mill Valley CA and my beloved ancestors originate from Eastern and Northern Europe.
More About Kate...
I've always been insatiably curious about the human condition and the unique life paths each of us take. Growing up, I'd play amateur therapist for my friends but life had a lot to teach me before I could step into this role for real. There were many years of deep darkness and confusion and I had to find my own process of growing through it, mainly by reconnecting to my intuition through a contemplative meditation practice and by leaning into the support of nature and plant medicine to better see and feel my place in the world.
​
Today, I strive to be more present, more curious, more reverent of my relations, and to nurture the joys in my life. My fortunate livelihood as a therapist definitely supports all of these things.
​
I hold a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois, a Masters in Counseling Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (now Sofia University) and have a Holistic Birth Doula certificate through The Matrona. My training on therapeutic approaches includes Psychosynthesis (transpersonal parts work), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Ecopsychology, Hakomi, Sand Play, Dreamwork, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am also a plant-taught Ceremonial Healing Practitioner in the shamanic Song of Sophia Lineage.
