Kathy has been in the Social Work field for over 45 years. She just can’t seem to give it up! She has worked in aftercare with the severely mentally ill population, adult individual therapy work and years as a School Social Worker. Her interest and counseling approach is very eclectic due the the varied populations with which she has worked. Her current specialties include working with students with Selective Mutism, Trauma work and Anxiety/Depression. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a similar approach called Cognitive Processing Therapy, which is a technique that allows a person to heal from trauma without constantly re-triggering the trauma. She is compassionate, is honest and warm, but able to set limits. Kathy will mostly be seeing clients through telehealth, but will offer some in-person appointments at the Mental Wellness Counseling Cadillac location. She would like to work with adults in individual work and will see children and/or adolescents if there is concern of Selective Mutism.
