Hi, I’m Kate! I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with extensive experience working with pregnant women, children, teens, and families in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. My primary goal is to build trust and safety so that I can support you, your child, or your family as you navigate the bumps that life can throw your way. These bumps often have the ability to negatively impact our mental health, and I am passionate about creating a safe space so we can begin to explore this together.

Starting out on a therapeutic journey can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to our kids. It’s hard to always have the answer and, as children grow, they may encounter difficulties that can lead to anxiety, depression, self-harm, or negative self-image. In turn, these big feelings can lead to challenging behaviors and tension within family systems. As adults, we aren’t immune to these experiences either. Through individual therapy and family therapy, we explore these issues and help draw connections between emotions, experiences, and behaviors. We can then begin to work towards identifying strategies that will help you oryour child feel more like yourselves, deepen your bonds, and feel better overall.
