Kate is currently completing her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health at the University of Northern Colorado. With a background in mental health, experiential education, and the culinary world, Kate's approach to therapy is rooted in embodied learning and relationship.

​

Kate’s personal recovery from eating disorders and body image issues led her to culinary school, where she was taught to experience food from a chef’s perspective. What was once a profound fear eventually transmuted into curiosity about food science and accessibility, the inherently therapeutic nature of the cooking process, and the fundamental connectivity of sharing a meal with others. 

​

Kate believes that while no one exists in a vacuum, societal pressure, beauty standards, and systemic oppression can certainly leave us feeling that way. Capitalism gets its hooks in us when we’re young, forcing us to never feel “enough,” to rely on external dogma and diets, and to sever the connection with our inner wisdom. Committing to therapy is re-committing to connection, which is in itself an act of resistance. Kate feels honored to walk alongside you on your journey home, providing warmth, relatability, and humor.
