Kate is a Licensed Professional Counselor working as a therapist since 2012 and opening her private practice in 2020. She is a dedicated counselor who works with children, adolescents and families. Kate also works with first responders and their loved ones, providing critical mental health support to those who face high-stress situations daily. Her approach blends compassion with humor and straightforward directness - a combination that can resonate well with the first responder community. Through virtual or in person sessions, Kate creates accessible pathways to care, meeting clients where they are - whether that's in her office or through a screen during busy shifts. Her goal is to help first responders bridge the gap between trauma exposure and recovery, helping essential community members process difficult experiences while strengthening outside bonds that can be strained by the demands of their profession.
