About me
Too many tabs open? Same. Come spill the tea & let’s close a few—gracefully, dramatically, & without judgment.
From work or school stress to fandom drama or a full identity side quest, we’ll sort it out together. No masks required. Full self highly encouraged. I’m Kathryn, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. My approach is trauma‑informed, collaborative, & deeply affirming. I love working with teens & adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, & big feelings that refuse to fit in boxes (as they should). Show up as you are. Schedule with me & let’s get into it.
Therapy should feel safe, human, & judgment‑free—not awkward. No judgment, no rushing, no pretending you’re ‘fine.’ You’re the expert on your life—I’m here to help. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, & grounded in evidence‑based therapy (including EMDR), at a pace that works for you.
Ready to start your next chapter? Schedule an appointment. No pretending, no shrinking, no ‘tone it down.’ I value authenticity and connection. Come as you are—queer, questioning, nerdy, creative, or all of the above. I’ll meet you exactly where you are while we build tools and insight to help you move forward feeling supported and empowered.
