What clients are saying.

“Kay is a wonderful therapist. She is incredibly observant, present, warm, and she has a fiery, passionate side that shows up exactly when you need it! Kay is creative in her approach and she meets you where you are. She offers her knowledge and encouragement which always helps me to better understand, articulate, and incorporate my life experiences. With Kay’s steadfast support, I have been able to adapt to my grief, get a handle on childhood trauma, change my relationship to my emotions, and start to become the woman I’ve always wanted to be. I could not have asked for a better person to guide, hold, and witness me on my journey.”

“Kay has been my therapist for almost 2 years. She helped me gain insights into my career and personal life that I was not expecting when I first started therapy. This has enabled me to more fully understand myself and how I react to a wide array of circumstances.

She is a strong collaborator with me to identify and understand the root cause of my challenges. She's helped me gain confidence in roles and scenarios I was not previously confident in particularly with setting boundaries. She's provided me with empathy in times where I couldn't provide it for myself or others. She has celebrated my wins and challenged me to think through different lenses. She's given me tools that I can use in my most anxious and uncertain moments.

Also, she's really funny and personable, in a really good way with healthy professional boundaries. I recommend her without hesitation.”

“I have had weekly sessions with Kay for just over two years, tackling the big stuff and the mundane, including work, family, and my daily experiences. She has helped me be more kind to myself, understand and intervene on my anxiety and perfectionism, and interrogate patterns of behaviors and reactions. I’ve come to understand the interplay between the strengths that have helped me survive and thrive and the tender spots that should be valued. I was a bit scared of therapy and not sure I would have something to say, but having this safe space has changed my life for the better. I am continually grateful for Kay’s therapeutic approach and personal demeanor.”
