About Kate

 I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Boston College and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from William James College (formerly Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology).  I have a broad range of experience and training in various treatment settings.   For over six years, I worked at the University of Vermont Medical Center as both an outpatient psychotherapist and inpatient medical psychology consultant, treating and consulting on a a full range of psychiatric issues.  Prior to that, I worked and trained in a college counseling center, a federal prison, a psychiatric inpatient unit, and a partial hospital program. In 2016, upon moving from Vermont to Massachusetts, I started private practice in a lovely office in downtown Natick.   

I am passionate about my work with adult-oriented issues.  These include:  chronic procrastination and avoidance, an issue I studied and ultimately a topic upon which I wrote my dissertation; struggles with loss of sense of self/identity in various stages of adulthood - be it during parenthood, within one's marriage, amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, as one approaches and embarks on retirement, etc.; panic and anxiety disorders in otherwise high functioning individuals; issues of infertility and pregnancy loss; and coping with a new (or not so new) medical diagnosis or that of a family member's.  

And so, whether you are an adult suffering from anxiety, debilitating procrastination, loss of sense of self, difficulty coping with a new medical diagnosis, infertility or pregnancy loss, or another psychological condition, or a parent of a special needs child struggling with issues of grief and overwhelm, I welcome you into my psychotherapy practice.
