welcome.

taking the first step to get help can be hard. thanks so much for taking that step here.

hi, i’m kathleen.

I’m a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker (lcsw #93134) in California.

I enjoy helping people navigate anxiety, parenthood and postpartum, depression, and trauma among other issues.

I offer sessions virtually for people throughout California, as well as in-person in Berkeley.

specialties

  • anxiety

    Anxiety is ultimately there as a useful tool to help us stay motivated. But, this feeling can start to become a problem when we become so overwhelmed we struggle to stay present or have difficulty even getting started. Anxious thoughts or feelings can feel all consuming and it can be hard to see the reality of what’s going on.

  • parenting and postpartum

    I find that parenting can be a parallel process. As we raise our children, we can also learn how to better show up as our true selves in the world.

  • depression

    Life can feel heavy, especially now. Or, maybe you feel numb. You might be feeling hopeless, not like yourself, and/or you’re finding that you don’t enjoy the things you used to.

other issues I’ve helped folks work through

  • trauma

  • add/adhd

  • OCD

  • mood disorders

  • bipolar disorder

  • substance abuse

  • grief

  • relationship issues

  • people pleasing behaviors

  • feeling lost

  • desire for a stronger sense of self
