Kate Sandoval, LMFTA

I am an experienced couples and individual therapist who can help you navigate relationship challenges, identity shifts, and the messy, often complicated experience of being human.

I approach therapy with humor, honesty, and respect for your journey.

Therapy with me is collaborative, active, and rooted in mutual respect. I believe that you are the expert on your own life—your experiences, values, and inner wisdom matter deeply. My role is to bring in the tools, perspective, and therapeutic process to help you make sense of your story, explore what's not working, and move toward meaningful change.

I draw from a range of approaches, including experiential therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), art therapy, and ecotherapy. I tailor each session to fit your needs, whether that means exploring your inner world through IFS parts work, understanding relationship patterns, accessing your creativity, or connecting with the natural world as part of healing.

Authenticity is my superpower and I bring it with me everywhere. My style is often direct, grounded in honesty, and balanced with warmth and humor. I believe in saying the hard things—with compassion—because growth often lives just on the other side of discomfort. Clients who enjoy working with me tend to be open to self-reflection, curious about their patterns, and willing to engage in meaningful feedback. I bring that same openness to our work, continually encouraging your reflection on my role in the process.

If you’re looking for a space that’s both supportive and gently challenging, where you're encouraged to connect more deeply with yourself and others, we may be a good fit.
