Understanding, compassion, and a desire for client healing, encompass the approach for Cliff in his sessions. Patience is a cornerstone of his approach and an invaluable part of the healing process.
Cliff's work with adults experiencing the struggles of longstanding depression, and the effects on their daily living, give him understanding in the process and guidance towards better quality of life. Trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cliff holds space with disorganized emotion and helps guide clients in understanding the discomfort they find themselves facing.
Cliff continues to be an exceptional model of what quality therapy can do for helping clients get back to the best versions of themselves.

Untangling the Web of S*xual Addiction. Reclaiming Intimacy. Restoring Trust.

Specialties:
• S*xual Addiction
• S*x Positive Therapy
• LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care
• Women’s S*xual Trauma

Renowned practitioner Patrick Carnes once said:
“A person who never learned to trust confuses intensity with intimacy, obsession with care, and control with security.”

Healing begins when we gently begin separating those wires.

As a CSAT (Certified S*xual Addiction Therapist), Katelyn helps clients organize unhealthy coping patterns and create meaningful, sustainable change. Her work within the LGBTQIA+ community has been a beacon for individuals seeking acceptance, graciousness, and true healing.

Recovering from s*xual trauma requires patience, persistence, and the ability to build organic trust. Katelyn’s therapeutic style embodies those qualities and clients quickly sense her genuine care and passion for their success.

If healing feels overwhelming, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
