Meet Kathryn
Healing Trauma Through the Mind, Body, and the Human Experience
You may understand why you struggle, yet still find yourself feeling anxious, emotionally disconnected, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that seem difficult to change. Trauma doesn't just shape our memories; it can shape the way we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world long after the original experiences have passed.
I don't see these experiences as evidence that something is "wrong" with you. More often, they reflect the remarkable ways our minds and bodies adapt to survive. While those adaptations may have once been protective, they can also leave us feeling stuck long after the original danger has passed.
I specialize in helping adults heal from the lasting effects of complex trauma, attachment wounds, dissociation, chronic stress, and anxiety. My goal isn't simply to reduce symptoms—it's to help you better understand yourself, process unresolved experiences, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have felt lost along the way.
My Approach
No two people-and no two nervous systems are exactly alike.
For that reason, I don't believe in one-size-fits-all trauma therapy. I provide highly individualized treatment, integrating EMDR with advanced training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, attachment theory, structural dissociation, clinical hypnosis, and other evidence-informed trauma therapies. Every treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, goals, and nervous system.
I offer both traditional weekly psychotherapy and EMDR intensives for individuals seeking a more focused treatment experience.
Advanced Training
I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant with advanced training in:
• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
• Structural Dissociation
• Applied Polyvagal Theory
• Clinical Hypnosis
• Somatic Integration and Processing (SIP)
• Attachment-informed trauma treatment
In addition to providing psychotherapy, I provide consultation and continuing education for other therapists and was honored to present at the 2024 EMDRIA International Conference.
My Perspective as a Clinical Social Worker
My training as a clinical social worker shapes every aspect of how I understand healing. While I specialize in complex trauma and the nervous system, I also recognize that our mental health is influenced by relationships, families, communities, culture, identity, and the broader systems in which we live.
I strive to provide culturally responsive, anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and weight-neutral care. I recognize the impact that discrimination, poverty, chronic stress, climate-related distress, and other systemic factors can have on a human being's mental and physical health.
Education
B.A. Sociology, Minor in Anthropology
University of Louisiana at Lafayette, 2012
Master of Social Work
Louisiana State University, 2015
I have also completed additional coursework in biology, advanced anatomy and physiology, and nursing studies, reflecting my ongoing interest in bridging physical and mental health through an integrated understanding of the human body.

Payment & Insurance
I am a private-pay practice and do not participate with insurance plans.

If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

A Few Things That Make Me, Me
Outside of therapy, I love spending time with my family and experiencing those everyday moments of playful co-regulation that remind me how healing relationships can be. You'll also find me out for a run, tending to the plants around my office, dreaming up my next training for therapists, stargazing, or getting lost in a great science fiction book or movie. I genuinely enjoy thoughtful conversations about social justice, systemic issues, nature, and the ways people and communities heal and grow.
Life's quieter moments: a slow morning with coffee, time outdoors, or simply being with the people I love help keep me grounded.
