"The task ahead of you is never as great as the Power within you." Ralph Waldo Emerson~
"I help people turn despair into TRIUMPH!" Kathleen is a creative, gifted, and passionate therapist with extensive experience helping children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of issues. As a parent herself, she is able to walk alongside parents who are struggling to find effective ways to parent children experiencing difficult circumstances. Her therapy style is both responsive and affirming. This allows clients of all ages to respond with ease to new behavior changes she designs for them and their families. Her sessions are tranquil, driven by a strong belief that cultivating comfort and safety will best foster the environment her clients need to implement the positive change they seek. And, yes, there’s homework. Kathleen highly values therapeutic assignments outside the therapy environment to enhance the results of actual time spent with patients. Kathleen is a spiritually-motivated, goal-oriented therapist. A committed Christian, she guides her clients toward the restoration of new purpose with peace and grace.
Former band director turned LPC-S, CEAP. My focus is running a group practice and develop clinicians practices at Life Tree and serve as the Chief Mentoring Officer for PracticeMentors.us that helps the next generation of mental health professionals protect, equip and defend their businesses.

Confidentiality is defined as keeping private the information shared by you, the client, with your therapist. On occasion, another staff member may need to access your record for professional or administrative purposes. That staff member will also respect the privacy of your case record. As a client, you have the right to withhold or release information to other individuals or agencies. No information will be released to anyone not performing business for this office without your consent unless mandated by Texas law. You may request an accounting of all disclosures made of your records, and, whenever it is possible, any disclosure of your healthcare information to an outside individual or agency will be discussed with you prior to disclosure. Please be advised that, although protecting your confidentiality is a priority for your therapist, Texas law mandates several exceptions to your right to confidentiality as per Chapter 611. Possible exceptions to confidentiality include but are not limited to the following situations: child abuse; abuse of the elderly or disabled;abuse of patients in mental health facilities; sexual exploitation; licensing board investigations; criminal prosecutions; child custody cases; lawsuits; situations where the therapist has a duty under the law to disclose, or where, in the therapist’s judgement, it is necessary for safety to warn or disclose; fee disputes between the therapist and the client; or filing for insurance reimbursement.
