Kathy’s Approach
Kathy’s work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience.

That background helps her bring empathy, steadiness, and authenticity to the people she serves.
She remains deeply interested in experiential therapy and in approaches that help clients move beyond insight alone. Her work may draw from creativity, reflection, emotional processing, body awareness, and deeper inner exploration, depending on the needs and goals of the individual.
