Kathryn combines her counseling practice with the arts of motivational coaching and spiritual direction and is a certified practitioner in both EMDR and Spiritual Direction. Kathryn carefully and powerfully interweaves traditional therapy techniques with EMDR for the treatment of post-traumatic stress and somatic conditions. This highly effective approach is beneficial in enhancing performance abilities for athletes, artists and business leaders who are motivated to reach goals beyond their present competency.

Kathryn strongly believes that some of our physical health concerns can be related to our psychological, emotional and/or spiritual health. She assists individuals suffering from somatic conditions, reducing their physical malaise while treating their emotional difficulties.

Further, Kathryn utilizes Sacred and Transpersonal Psychology, the Enneagram, dream analysis, the study of mysticism and the esoteric traditions to create a centered and safe environment for the individual to explore and grow in his or her own personal journey. Because of her own study into the depths of all spiritual traditions and her own personal practice, Kathryn believes that what is taught by all faiths is true: All is One.

Kathryn’s advance training and practice includes:
EMDR – Certified EMDR therapist: Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an effective tool used in partnership with more conventional therapies to desensitize and reprocess emotional suffering. See "For Clients" page for more information.

Nia Technique:  Licensed Blue Belt Nia Instructor. True body/mind/spirit/emotions movement technique.

To achieve this whole-being integration, Nia addresses the whole person using a comprehensive, holistic exercise approach designed with a combination of nine classic movement forms.

Sacred Psychology: Trans-traditional and transpersonal psychotherapy, mysticism, Jungian analysis, Enneagram, dream analysis, esoteric traditions and the Labyrinth.
