Body-centered psychotherapy is a quick and unique way into the psyche and the truthful, somatic, present moment. I help clients uncover what's really important and what's holding them back (connecting past and present issues), strengthening their ability to feel, express and receive, in relationship to self and others.

Classical yoga and meditation is still a huge inspiration in my life, as a reminder of "who I truly am." 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...[more]

Body-centered psychotherapy is a quick and unique way into the psyche and the truthful, somatic, present moment. I help clients uncover what's really important and what's holding them back (connecting past and present issues), strengthening their ability to feel, express and receive, in relationship to self and others.

Classical yoga and meditation is still a huge inspiration in my life, as a reminder of "who I truly am." 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 or couples, work with individuals interested in yoga therapy, and teach group yoga classes that offer lots of 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 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]
