“Kathryn leads with kindness. It is the very first thing you notice about her as a person as it is simply how she interacts with the world. The second quality you notice is her warmth. She has the innate ability to make others feel at ease. Kathryn’s kindness and warmth carry over into her role as a clinician as she creates a safe, accepting space that is the very foundation of the counseling process. As a counselor, Kathryn is intentional and collaborative as she prioritizes the unique needs and experiences of each individual.
I am forever grateful to call Kathryn a friend and colleague. Working together is not just professionally enriching; it's an experience defined by compassion, empathy, and a genuine dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of others.”
