“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
"Pooh!" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you.”

MY PHILOSOPHY

I believe quality of life is determined by the health of our relationships. Connection - with yourself, your partner, and your loved ones -  is the core to satisfying relationships. As a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, I am trained in understanding how our emotions can drive our behavior when connection is missing. I work with couples and families to help them better understand one another and grow through the challenges life presents. I help families learn to recognize and then eventually express their needs for love, support, protection and comfort.

Kate welcomes, affirms, and supports the BIPOC and LGBTQ Community

Additionally, at CenterPoint, she taught couples’ workshops, facilitated groups with young families, and volunteered at the New Day Program for families of divorce.
