About Kathryn

Prior to becoming a therapist I worked in international economic policy for 10 years. I have a BA in Economics and an MS in Applied Economics, both from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During my transition to the mental health world, I received my MSW from Columbia University, primarily focused in trauma, addiction, and grief.
I have been at Resilient Self therapy for several years and am currently completing EFT couples training. I also completed training focused on harm reduction and have a certificate in Integrative Trauma Studies from the National Institute of Psychotherapies.
Ah, so much! I love connecting with people while watching them grow to find freedom and authenticity within themselves and in their relationships. I often love a puzzle, and exploring with clients to look for the unique thing that clicks for them is such an incredible experience.
Humor, respect, curiosity, and thoughtfulness.
Playing with my dog, Nala, training for the latest Hyrox race, looking for a coffee, or listening to a podcast or audio book. I also have a penchant for Bravo shows.
