Kat came to social work after several years as a public school teacher. After witnessing the significant impact that compassionate support and guidance had on families in her classroom, Kat decided to pursue a path more explicitly focused on caregivers’ mental health. She is excited about working with young adults in life transitions, those considering beginning families/TTC, and pregnant/postpartum/parenting individuals as she feels passionately that the wellness of caregivers has generational impact. Kat has worked at a shelter for new moms and in a hospital setting within a residential trauma treatment program. Her experience in trauma-focused environments allows her to bring a deep understanding of resilience and recovery into her practice, helping clients navigate their healing journeys. In sessions, she is approachable and lighthearted. Kat will work with you to determine goals for therapy and stay with you every step of the way as you meet and exceed them. Kat enjoys teaching trauma symptom management skills and using holistic healing methods like yoga, breathwork, visualization, and art.
