I went to Kathleen years ago, with my husband at the time. I was in a tumultuous relationship so Id been to other therapists before. Kathleen is sharp, insightful, and friendly. She isnt pushy, but kindly guides you to better understand your relationship. In my case, I came to understand I was in a codependent relationship with someone who could never meet my needs. We were vastly incompatible. I ended up moving out and filing for divorce, and our last session with Kathleen helped with closure.

My husband and I have only seen Kathleen twice so far, but she has already had a huge impact. We're dealing with a situation that is out of our control, and has seemed insurmountable. Kathleen has listened to us, gave us a lot of insight and sent us on our way with some solid actions to start making things better. For the first time in a while, I feel hope.
