Hi, I’m Kathleen, a therapist and life coach.
What I love most about the work I get to do is watching the people I’ve come to know so well and care for so much transform into glowing, confident go-getters of life! I feel overwhelmingly grateful for the opportunity to get to know some truly incredible people and share a small part of their amazing journeys.
Credentials & Background
I completed my master’s degree in counselor education at the University of New Orleans, a 3 year CACREP accredited graduate program, in 2014. During that program, I had the honor of interning for 1 year at a residential addiction treatment facility, where I was mentored by amazing counselors and had the opportunity to gain experience helping families, adolescents, and individuals on a wide range of issues.
A native of New Orleans, I moved to Colorado in 2015 and have enjoyed working with clients there, as well as across the U.S. and internationally, for the past 10 years. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and have held certification (NCC) with the National Board for Certified Counselors since 2014. In addition to working as a licensed professional counselor, I have had the pleasure of spreading awareness around mental health and support services through my role as a graphic designer and social media content creator with Growing Self Counseling and Coaching.
Approach
Everyone is different, and needs different types of support at different times in life. As a therapist and coach, I understand the importance of tailoring our time to what works best for you - and staying up to date in training and education so that I can provide whatever you need effectively and competently.
My style has been described as a nice bridge between person-centered therapeutic processing and solution-focused coaching.
I am trauma and somatic therapy-informed, and utilize tools and interventions from: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Existential Theory, Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Approach, and Intuitive Eating Therapy, to name a few. Together, we’ll use these research-driven approaches to overcome old patterns that are holding you back, successfully reach your goals, and create the life and relationships you crave.
I would love the opportunity to get to know you better, and learn more about how I can help you achieve your goals!
