About Kathi-Ann
Her approach centers on hearing each person’s story and looking for different ways to understand it. She combines client-centered listening with narrative techniques to shift how clients make sense of painful events. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach tools for managing strong emotions and daily stress.
Kathi-Ann incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma processing is needed. She pairs that with skills training so people can feel steadier between sessions. Her work often addresses body image, codependency, control issues, dissociation, hoarding, and eating-related problems alongside core concerns.
Sessions focus on practical skill building as much as on talking. Clients learn mindfulness and simple thought-changing techniques they can use at home. The pace is collaborative and adjusted to what each person can handle.
With six years of experience, Kathi-Ann aims to create a calm, conversational space where people can name their struggles and try new coping strategies. She encourages small steps and real-world practice to help people move toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning.
