Relationships

Our relationships play a huge role in our lives. They impact how we feel, how we show up, and also how we heal. Many factors can impact our ability to build and maintain healthy relationships; these include growing up in a dysfunctional household, a difficulty communicating wants and needs, feeling emotionally disconnected, previous trauma, low self-esteem, unrealistic expectations, and repeating unhealthy attachment patterns.

Everyone deserves to have healthy relationships in their life whether that be with family, friends, or romantic relationships. Kate works with individuals and couples to build stronger connections, explore family dynamics, childhood wounds, and unhealthy behavioral patterns. She provides individuals and couples with the practical skills necessary to foster healthy communication, resolve conflicts, and build stronger relationship bonds.
