More about Kate
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I work with thoughtful, high-functioning individuals who feel something isn’t fully aligned -despite doing well on the outside. Many come in with anxiety, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in patterns they can’t shift. They’re often ready for more than coping—they want real change. Our work is practical and grounded, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence while addressing deeper patterns. There is also space to explore deeper healing, meaning, and spiritual growth if that feels right for you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
