Hi there, I’m Kat! I use she/her pronouns.
I believe in “meeting the person, not the problem” and so let me introduce myself. I’ve been described as warm, compassionate, and supportive. I love hanging out with my dog, various crafty endeavours (right now I’m into painting, cross stitching and beadwork), listening to live music, and trying new recipes.
As a therapist?
I’m person-centred which means that who you are as an individual is celebrated and prioritized through our work together. Wherever you are in your therapy journey, we can work together to navigate your goals, skills, and what comes next for you.
Currently, I incorporate strengths-based, mindfulness, and somatic approaches on top of a CBT-ish foundation. What this actually means? We’ll work together to deepen your self-understanding, your self-compassion, and we’ll do it in a way that not just is mindful of your needs, but has them front and centre. Everyone deserves to have a space cultivated just for them, and that’s what I’m committed to providing for you.
I have experience partnering with all kinds of folks, including those exploring areas like identity, life transitions, workplace difficulties, relationship patterns/beginnings/endings, or needing support with anxiety, self-advocacy, boundaries, caregiving/compassion fatigue, chronic pain, depression, neurodivergence (adhd/autism), family dynamics, and more. I have additional training/certifications and experience supporting 2SLGBTQ+ and Indigenous folks, am a Trauma-Informed Practitioner (Level 1), have my Gaslighting & Relationship Trauma Recovery Certificate, and am also Reiki 2 certified. I have upcoming trainings in IFS, ACT, EFIT, and Somatic therapy, too!
Curious? Let’s chat! I offer free 15-minute consults and have sliding scale spots available.
