More about Kathryn
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I'm a licensed therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. The vast majority of my experience is supporting children and teens-and their parents. This includes clinical experience at day treatment and residential facilities all over the Bay Area. I've been in private practice since 2014. Since then my practice has expanded to supporting individuals of all ages. My speciality is helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, family dynamics, parenting concerns, and self-esteem struggles. I'm particularly skilled in helping people process difficult emotions like guilt and shame, work toward forgiveness, and build healthier relationships with control.
My approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration. I specialize in supporting clients with social anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, and trauma-related concerns. I understand that life transitions and unexpected changes can feel overwhelming, and I'm here to help you develop practical coping strategies tailored to your unique situation.
I believe therapy works best when it's a partnership. My role is to listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and walk alongside you as you work toward greater peace and resilience. I'm honored by the trust my clients place in me, and I'm committed to creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up authentically.
If you're considering taking this important step, I want you to know that reaching out takes real courage. I'm here to support 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.
