More about Kathleen
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
As a licensed clinical psychologist in California with 18 years of professional experience, I am dedicated to helping my clients navigate life's challenges with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My extensive work has equipped me with the skills to support individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, and anger management.
I believe that each person is unique, and I take great care in tailoring our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your specific needs. My approach is grounded in evidence-based treatment modalities, ensuring that you receive the most effective support. For clients presenting with stress and anxiety, I often help individual's identify and reframe negative thought patterns, as well as utilize Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to cultivate a sense of calm and presence.
When working on relationship issues, I help couples and individuals strengthen their emotional bonds and improve communication. For parenting challenges, I help client's foster healthy family dynamics and build stronger, more resilient relationships between parents and children.
In addressing anger management, I integrate techniques to help clients develop healthier ways of expressing and managing their emotions. I believe in a collaborative process where we work together to achieve your goals and enhance your well-being.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can be an act of courage, and I am proud of you for beginning this journey. I am here to support you every step of the way, and I look forward to working together to create a path toward greater peace and fulfillment in your life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
