Meet Kathleen….
For the past 20 years I have been guiding fellow humans on their journeys of personal growth and transformation. I serve people as a licensed holistic psychotherapist, a total wellness lifestyle coach, a psychedelic integration coach, consultant, supervisor, end of life doula, and spiritual midwife. I have the privilege of working with woman, men and others from around the world to remember and reconnect to their truest most open hearted Self.
My passion is to help transform the lives of others, personally, professionally, emotionally, and spiritually moving them toward total wellness. I guide clients in their own self-discovery process to look deep within themselves to embody their full potential and unique signature by expanding their understanding of their own strength and resilience by activating their own inner healing intelligence.
I practice clumsily living my life from a place of authenticity with an open heart. Through my connection to play, humor, movement, mindfulness, breath, meditation, and nature I continue to deepen my relationship with all parts of myself (not an easy task), my connection to others (also not an easy task), and to the unknown. And, I’m learning to embrace the messiness of this life and my humanness.
I completed my undergraduate coursework at California State University at Long Beach. I went on to receive a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University at Los Angeles in 2006.
I continually work to stay current on the latest research and trends in clinical psychology. I regularly attend conferences, seminars, participate in training workshops, and am part of an ongoing professional consultation group.
Since 2018 I’ve studied the ways in which Ketamine can enhance and deepen the therapeutic process. This along with Psychedelic Integration (the therapeutic processing of consciousness expanding experiences) is my current professional passion. Please note, I do not supply or administer any illegal substances.
Clinical Background
I’ve been practicing psychotherapy for over a decade. I am licensed a Marriage and Family Therapist by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (lic.#48345). I am also licensed in the states of Hawaii and Colorado. I see clients in my private practice in Long Beach, CA. I also offer personal coaching services to individuals who do not live in the states I am licensed as a therapist. I currently see clients virtually.
I serve as a supervisor to a number of therapists beginning their careers in psychology. In this capacity, I meet regularly with new therapists to review client cases and facilitate the therapists growth and development as effective mental health practitioners.
I also offer both individual and group consultation to therapists and other healing professionals who would like to learn ways of providing better support to clients that are using psychedelics for their healing and are looking for community.
