Psychotherapist

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. She strongly believes that the work you do in therapy can lead to a happier, more fulfilling life. Kat’s background includes working at a shelter for new moms and babies, as well as 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 from wherever they are ready to start.

Kat enjoys using CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness with clients. In sessions, she is warm, approachable, and lighthearted. She 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. In addition to therapy, Kat is a registered yoga teacher and a coach. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Boston University and a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University.
