About

I’m Kathie, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I am an affirmative therapist that has experience working with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, communication, relationship issues, and dealing with life’s transitions with the LBGTQIA+ community. I also have worked extensively with physical and emotional trauma. My style of therapy is very eclectic, I draw from different types of healing modalities and theories and will utilize what suits your needs. I combine mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, existential, feminist, and narrative therapy. I don’t believe in labeling or diagnosing a person for their experiences and weigh a lot of importance in language and how we use our words to make meaning. I also strongly believe it’s important for me to understand where you are coming from, so I am always striving to maintain cultural awareness, competency, humility, and sensitivity. We are born whole but things happen that make us forget or lose that wholeness; we have to learn and try new ways of helping ourselves feel complete again. I hope we can do that together. I look forward to working with you.
