About Me 

Hello!

I’m Kate! When I’m not working, I’m either on the couch with my cats (who you’ll probably meet in our sessions), crafting something while listening to an audiobook, or playing board games with my husband (we’re proud Catan freaks). I also love tending to my house plants if you couldn’t tell from my pictures. 

As an agoraphobia and panic disorder recoveree, it’s hard for me to contain my excitement when I get a message from someone saying they’ve tried all the things, spent years working to manage and fix the anxiety, and they can’t take it anymore. Seeing my clients start this journey and grow their confidence that they actually can sit with panic, and it's safe to feel the anxiety, is something that I’ll never grow tired of seeing.

Because of my own past experiences with panic attacks which at one point had me home-bound, I totally get the dread and hopelessness that comes with these disorders. I know that urge to fight it off and push it away, only to make it 10x worse. And I understand how illogical and crazy you feel when trying to explain it to others. “You’re missing the holidays because you can’t drive?”
“What do you mean you can’t go to the store alone?” “Well if you have a panic attack on the plane, just distract yourself until you feel better”. Yeah, thanks. That’ll definitely help! *rolls eyes. 

If you’re trying not to panic but then you panic because you’re trying so hard not to panic– you’re my people.
