She is committed to providing a safe, nurturing space for her clients that encourages growth, healing, and self-discovery at their own pace. Kadie’s gentle and authentic person-centered approach along with her training and experience, allows those who work with her to quickly establish the trust and connection they need to feel supported in taking on life’s difficulties. She relies on strong empathetic skills to help her clients feel valued and to guide them in discovering the strengths, tools and resources they already possess within themselves that can affect purposeful change in their lives. Kadie understands there is not a one size fits all therapy approach and that each person’s journey and experience is unique. With this in mind, she strives to individualize treatment with each client and utilizes a variety of treatment modalities. Kadie enjoys using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, humanistic, and psychodynamic techniques when working with clients. She believes that therapy is a collaborative and interactive process where progress and desired outcomes are achieved when working together. Kadie assures each client is given adequate education and resources to make informed decisions throughout their care and provides clients with brain and body based skills to support their mental and emotional wellness along their journey through therapy and life.
Kadie recognizes that reaching out for help is difficult and courageous first step in the healing process. She looks forward to building a positive, caring relationship with each individual she works with that is based on trust and understanding. Kadie is committed to helping each of her clients achieve their goals for therapy and is ready to support them in developing a more meaningful life and becoming a happier, healthier version of themselves.
