Integrative psychotherapy is a quick and unique way into the psyche, the soma, and what is true and present in the moment, because it is body-centered as well as inquiry-oriented. I help clients uncover the source of their "blockages," what's holding them back (connecting past and present issues), while strengthening their ability to integrate body-wisdom and feelings with intellectual insight.

Integrative psychotherapy is a quick and unique way into the psyche, the soma, and what is true and present in the moment, because it is body-centered as well as inquiry-oriented. I help clients uncover the source of their "blockages," what's holding them back (connecting past and present issues), while strengthening their ability to integrate body-wisdom and feelings with intellectual insight. Body-mind therapy is also recognized as the only therapeutic form that truly helps with the far-reaching symptoms experienced by those who have suffered a trauma or PTSD.

Because this process helps clients free up a fuller range of expression in relationship to self and others, I also attract alot of couples to counseling, as I offer practical tools for relating with a more generous spirit. On an individual basis, I help those suffering from anxiety-depression, addiction, general "stuckness," body image issues, meaning of life concerns, trauma, loss and chronic illness.

Classical yoga and meditation is still a huge inspiration in my life; 22 years as a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist has offered the relentless reminder that Ego is not a catalyst for healing and transformation, but with courage and commitment, one can find something deeper that is.

I've created a studio in West Seattle, the Four Aims Center, where I have a private counseling practice for individuals, couples and families, work with individuals interested in yoga therapy, and teach group yoga classes where I offer individual attention For yoga therapy I use tools that bring balance to the physical/structural, the physiology (sleep, digestion, women's issues, etc), mental-emotional (inquiry into the stories that rule us and our core psychic "tensions"), and the spiritual dimension, all according to an individual's needs and interests.

  Kat has the experience and depth to help you be in your body to move through your life's stuff. Her work is the best there is in how counseling is being done today -- direct experience of who you are, empowering the client -- Kat does all of that. My experience with her work was marvelous, deep work, gently guided.

  Why be miserable? Make an appt with her and feel better!

  Kat is a wonderful amazing yoga teacher and person! I took yoga classes from her for a couple years (till she moved her studio) and just loved them.. I always felt healed in some way, and loved every aspect- the postures, her attention to peoples' needs, the spiritual dimension she wove in, and her love. Give her a call- you'll be glad you did.   [less]

  FIrst the Disclaimer: Kat is my partner and love of my life. She's also been facilitating the therapeutic component of my financial workshops for some time... which means I've been a witness to her effective and compassionate work with struggling individuals and couples. If you're needing counseling centered in words and ego-enhancement, keep on looking. But call Kat if you're ready to make a significant shift in your emotional health within a relatively short time frame.    [less]
