About Kathryn

Hi, I’m Kathryn! I take a warm, direct, and collaborative approach to therapy, helping clients uncover barriers, understand patterns, and find ways to live more freely and authentically. I integrate EMDR, somatic interventions, practical, evidence-based modalities like CBT and DBT, with mindfulness and expressive arts, tailoring therapy to each client’s unique needs. Sessions with me combine reflection, insight, and skill-building with humour, play, and thoughtful exploration of grief and challenges. Together, we work to help you reconnect with your strengths, creativity, and sense of self.

I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. Having navigated complex childhood trauma, disordered eating, anxiety, divorce, and depression, I understand and empathize with how complex and difficult but life-changing recovery can be. This perspective informs my approach and helps me meet clients with empathy, insight, practical and (hopefully!) meaningful support.

I respectfully acknowledge that I live and work as a visitor on the unceded ancestral territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees), Wyomilth (Esquimalt), and W̱SÁNEĆ (Saanich) peoples of the Coast Salish Nation. As a white settler of Northern Irish, English, and Scottish ancestry, I recognize my place of privilege and strive to approach my work with humility, respect, and awareness of the ongoing impacts of colonialism.

I’m deeply grateful to all my clients who entrust me with their stories and their healing.
