• National Board of Certified Counselors
• American Counseling Association
• State of Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners
• EMDR International Association, Certified

Kathryn combines her counseling practice with the art of spiritual direction and is certified 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.

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