"It's never too late to be who you were meant to be." ~George Eliot

Therapy creates a rare, secure space for real change. Many believe mindset alone leads to transformation, yet it often leads to frustration. Therapy offers a new path, turning setbacks into growth. Through this process, we can realign, find hope, and move toward a life that truly reflects Inner Self.

About

supporting your journey to inner balance

I believe our life experiences shape us both psychologically and physically. With this in mind, I offer a blend of talk therapy and body awareness techniques to promote mental well-being. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychoeducation, somatic therapies, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, spirituality, and mindfulness to support lasting healing. My therapy approaches lean into learning to be kind to yourself regardless of the circumstances. Kathe's Training & Education Kathe has advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) from The IFS Institute, complex trauma with Janina Fisher, PhD., mindful self-compassion with Kristin Neff, PhD., and Chris Germer, PhD., psychedelic integration with Mindscape Psychedelic Institute, biofeedback with Saybrook University and Inna Khazan, PhD., and trauma-sensitive yoga with The Center for Trauma and Embodiment at JRI. She completed clinical practicums at Des Moines Pastoral Counseling Center and in hospice inpatient care. Kathe holds a BA in Sociology and Women's Studies from the University of Northern Iowa and an MSW from the University of Iowa. Contact me via email to inquire about scheduling or to request information about a service. Phone calls are more difficult to return given my schedule and often require time that would be best spent as an appointment. Click the Contact button at the top of the page to get started.
