| About Kathleen
I've been a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist in private practice since 1990. I became really passionate about helping people with anxiety when I worked with a client named Jane. (Her name and details are changed for anonymity.)
Jane was so anxious she could barely drive to my office. As she sat there in the first session with me, I could see how scared, vulnerable and discouraged she felt. Jane said she felt really hopeless. She'd been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for so long, she didn't think she'd ever feel better. Coming to see me was her desperate, last-ditch effort to get help. In that first session I led Jane slowly into a deep, progressive relaxation. When we finished she looked well-rested and happy, and had a surprised smile on her face. She said she hadn't felt this good in a long time. I made a recording of the relaxation process, and told her to take it home and listen to it often, until our next session. Jane and I worked together over the course of a year. We worked on changing her lifestyle, her thoughts about herself, and her behaviors. I was thrilled to watch as Jane changed from a scared, discouraged, hopeless person into someone who embraced life with greater joy and ease. She changed from being someone who stuck close to home, barely going out into the world, into someone who now drove to the beach, hopped on a plane to visit family in Washington, volunteered to act in a community play, and actively participated in the women's club at her church. Jane's transformation into a happy, confident person hooked me. That's when I became really interested in helping others overcome anxiety and get control over their lives again. My Credentials
