Welcome! I’m Kat, a licensed therapist and Somatic Experiencing practitioner in Illinois and Oregon. I work with kids, teens, and adults navigating trauma, grief, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and major life transitions. My approach is rooted in walking alongside people as they face life’s challenges, move toward greater embodiment, and rediscover their inner strength. While a diagnosis can offer clarity, I focus on your lived experience and what healing means to you. I draw from Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and polyvagal theory to support the body and nervous system in healing. I also offer EMDR, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and plant medicine integration. At the core is your story, your goals, and a space that feels safe, supportive, and uniquely yours. Healing is a deeply personal journey, and I believe it happens best when you feel truly seen, heard, and empowered. Whether we’re working through past wounds, navigating life changes, or healing through alternate states of consciousness, I’ll be here to walk alongside you every step of the way. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out via phone call, text, or email. I am in-network with many insurance companies, but I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients to help with reimbursement. Please reach out with any questions, I'm happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.

I am so grateful to have met Kat, especially when I did. She was genuinely one of the best therapists I’ve ever worked with. She made it really easy to be open without trivializing my experiences, but she also challenged me when I needed it. I made massive progress with her guidance and support. I would absolutely recommend her, and see her again myself if the opportunity presents itself.

I was skeptical about trying therapy, but Kat has been a godsend. I did not expect to feel so comfortable so quickly. She listens so well, asks intelligent questions without a hint of judgement, makes suggestions that are personalized and well-informed and also equips me with knowledge in the process. I have learned a lot about myself and I look forward to our sessions every week, knowing I have a safe space to talk about absolutely anything and everything. Could not recommend her more!!!

Mary was very easy to talk to, like catching up with a friend :) besides our zoom sessions she also offered at-home resources to work on at your own pace. She was very flexible with scheduling and accommodating with other options when life got busy.
