Kathleen Skinner

I work with people looking to heal relationships with themselves, ultimately leading to better relationships with others. Many of my clients self identify as people pleasers or perfectionists, who have a tough time slowing down and putting themselves first. We might have difficulty finding the balance between shutting down our emotions and having them take over. I have a special interest in helping people navigate complicated family dynamics and heal from childhood trauma. My approach is laid back and collaborative. I want you to feel in control, while also knowing you don't have to deal with these difficult experiences alone. I integrate approaches like DBT, ACT, and somatic therapy, with a holistic focus. As both a Registered Psychotherapist and Accredited Music Therapist, we can use words, music, or a combination of both in our sessions. I am happy to chat more about what this means and looks like in sessions.
