Kate’s pronouns are She/Her

Kate uses play therapy, art, and creative ways to help kids, teens, and families overcome stress and feel happier.

Kate is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She received her BSW and MSW from Virginia Commonwealth University and has 10+ years of experience in the counseling field, ranging from the school environment, special education, juvenile probation, and private practice. She is experienced in play therapy and other expressive arts therapies and believes in taking a bottom-up approach to therapy.

Kate’s background has focused on helping children that are acting out due to overwhelming thoughts and feelings. She understands that behavior communicates a need; however, she also understands that it can be difficult to communicate needs when tensions are high, which can show up as shouting, hurtful language, and/or fighting. This can be overwhelming and scary for any family. 

Kate uses games, art, poetry, sand tray, and other engaging techniques to help clients understand their emotions, build self-esteem, and adjust to life changes. In addition, she helps children to identify their needs, communicate more assertively, and make healthier choices.
