About
Hello, I'm Kate.
I'm a psychotherapist in Portland, Maine. My work is relational and integrative, rooted in psychodynamic therapy and shaped by a long interest in how mind and body inform each other.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent years studying nutrition, movement, and holistic health. I was fascinated by why people struggled to create lasting change. Again and again, I found myself drawn toward a deeper question—not what people should do, but what kept them feeling stuck in the first place. That curiosity eventually led me to psychotherapy, where I found the work I was meant to do.
That background doesn't become a separate service in our work — it's part of how I listen, and part of why I take seriously what your body might be telling you. What you'll experience is someone paying close, unhurried attention.
