Accepting Clients

Hi, I’m Kathryn. I’m so glad you're here!

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Los Angeles, CA

About My Clients

Not a day goes by where I don't think of how much I adore and respect my clients. It takes courage to show up weekly and allow me into your most private inner world. It's truly an honor. I want to hear the story of you. I want to hear all of your feelings, thoughts and experiences. No topic is off limits and I believe the antidote to shame is sharing. I connect with self-reflective people, anxious types, creatives, over-performers, high-achievers, people-pleasers, highly sensitive individuals.

My Background and Approach

Helping people heal and return to a state of wellbeing (or maybe get there for the first time!) is 100% my calling. I take an integrative approach to therapy. This means is that I draw on principals from different therapeutic orientations and 20 plus years of clinical experience (and being on the other side of the couch!) to find what is best suited for you. It is my priority is to create emotional safety so we can explore your internal world, how you move through life, and how you relate to others. I am excited to also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy(KAP). KAP allows for a heart and mind-opening experience with lowered defenses promoting new ways of seeing yourself, your purpose in life and relation to others. I also offer Psychedelic Integration. The use of psychedelics can be a powerful experience worthy of exploration with a trained therapist. I will work with you to understand the insights and downloads received through your independent experiences with plant medicine.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that we all have the wisdom within to guide us through difficulties in life. Unfortunately these innate tools get over shadowed by trauma, poor role-modeling from caregivers, oppressive societal/cultural norms and pressures, and other experiences. Most of us are living in state of disconnection from our true self. We've lost touch with our feelings, wants and needs and we don't have the tools to gain access to them. We've been taught to look to others for answers instead of diving inward. We are disconnected simply as a means of survival. We stay guarded even if it's painful because even if the true self can accessed, then what? Most of us are not raised encouraged to identify and FEEL our feelings, let alone knowing how to integrate them and share these insights effectively with our people. Personal growth is a life long process and I wouldn't want it any other way! There is no need to go through this alone, this journey is much more powerful and rewarding with support!
