In-Person and Online Counseling That Works
We can meet in-person at our office location or via HIPAA-compliant, encrypted and confidential online counseling.
Why Bravada
We want to help you become a happier, healthier, more empowered version of yourself.
Are you unable to live the life that you’ve anticipated for yourself? Do your relationships inevitably fail or follow the same unhealthy patterns? Are you sad often? Do you struggle with shutting down? Are you struggling with terror in situations that others do not? Perhaps you’re caught up repeating dysfunctional generational family dynamics?
Is perfection ruining your ability to feel joy? Do you have a past of sexual abuse, abandonment or physical abuse? Do efforts at a balanced life feel fruitless?
Perhaps your career as a first responder, medical professional or church leader has left you in vicarious trauma?
Together, we can work through these issues.

Psychotherapist
Meet Kate
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a supervisory endorsement and additional training as a trauma therapist. I attended graduate school at Cincinnati Christian University’s School of Behavioral Science. Following this, I attained a clinical endorsement and then a supervisory endorsement. Studying under the HOCI Institute, I went on to become a developmental and relational trauma therapist. At the Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute, I also completed two years of training as a psychotherapist. My main area of treatment focus is in the area of trauma related disorders. Mood disorders and anxiety disorders also tend to be prevalent in my work, as they can oftentimes be comorbid to trauma and/or personality disorders.
I have taught undergraduate psychological courses, participated in research and trained in sex addiction, through the International Trauma Training Institute. My most prevalent theoretical orientations originate from psychoanalysis, neuroscientific, attachment theories, physiology, and existential theories.
Individuals who may benefit from psychotherapy may include those suffering from chronic stress, maladaptive relationship patterns, repetitive depressive episodes, acting out behaviors, career dysfunction, intense fear and social relationship difficulties. These symptoms can each be complex and far reaching, entangled in the lives of anguishing individuals. It can very much feel like a cycle that repeats in your life.
Contact me if you would like to discuss beginning therapy.
