About Kathy
I'm a licensed therapist practicing in North Dakota and Minnesota with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. Throughout my career, I've developed deep expertise in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, and the stress that accompanies major life changes. I work with clients across the lifespan, with particular focus on older adults and life stage transitions. My approach addresses a wide range of concerns-from communication and relationship patterns to identity, self-worth, and finding meaning. I'm skilled in supporting people through caregiver stress, family dynamics, workplace challenges, chronic illness, and the complex emotions that arise during midlife and aging. I bring a compassionate, person-centered approach grounded in understanding how past experiences shape present struggles. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you work toward greater self-compassion, connection, and purpose. Whether you're facing anxiety, grief, isolation, or questions about who you are and where you're headed, I'm here to walk alongside you with care and genuine understanding. Read more Show less
