The client that Kathleen works well with is youth (age 7 - teens) with trauma, divorce of parents, placement in foster care, adoption, or residential care, or who are involved in (or at risk) the juvenile justice system. Kathleen enjoys working with a variety of brain health (mental health) issues - depression, bipolar, PTSD, ADHD, ODD, anxiety, traumatic brain injury, and schizophrenia. Kathleen's focus is youth & family, but she also works with young adults transitioning out of foster care, & women wanting EMDR. Kathleen is trained in Amen Clinic's method, & provides evidence based tools to change your brain and change your life.
Kathleen offers individual and family counseling & welcomes parental involvement in the counseling process of their children. Her specialty is youth (7 & up), and trauma, but she works with adult women wanting Christian counseling or EMDR. Family counseling is with youth, and Kathleen does not do couples counseling. She's also Amen certified in brain health.
Kathleen offers counseling from a variety of therapeutic approaches, in a warm and caring environment that is also fun and active for children and youth, engaging with them at their level. Kathleen believes in client autonomy, and that she is not the expert on your life. The therapy relationship is one of collaboration between therapist and client.
