About Kate
My practice is a good fit for people who are looking for support with relationships. I often meet with couples who want help with improving communication or navigating issues with sex and affair recovery. I also see individuals who are considering decisions about intimate or family relationships. Many autistic and neurodivergent adults meet with me to discuss ways to find more connection and meaningful attachments.
Clinical supervisor
I supervise candidates for Sex Therapy certification through AASECT, the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists. Happy to answer any questions about this.
