Kate is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Bright Connections Counseling. She offers in-person and virtual therapy, located in the suburbs of Denver. Kate has always been drawn to connecting with other humans and creating strong relationships. At a young age, she knew she wanted to be in a field focused on helping others. This wiring naturally led her to a career in counseling. Kate brings those same qualities of curiosity, empathy, and warmth to her clients. Kate strives to create a space where clients feel free to express their innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment- a space where people can show up as their full, beautiful, messy, human, authentic selves- and where she can, too! Kate has specialized training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems & Synergetic Play Therapy, all of which are designed to help people process difficult life experiences. Kate is a wife and mama to two energetic little humans. When Kate is not therapist-ing, she enjoys spending time with her family, hiking, doing yoga, painting, being in nature, playing board games, and having living room dance parties. Kate firmly believes that the relationship is the most important part of the therapy process and therefore, prioritizes building relationship and authentic connection to help clients feel heard, felt, understood, and valued during our time together.
Do you ever feel like you’re constantly bracing for something to go wrong - even when things seem fine on the surface? Or like you’re stuck in patterns that you can’t explain but feel impossible to break?

Here, you'll find a safe space to process your inner and outer world so that you can focus on reclaiming your vitality and peace, and grow in relationship with yourself. My areas of expertise include anxiety + perfectionism, PTSD + grief, and relationships. If you are considering reaching out for my services, please know that I feel incredibly grateful to be a healing partner on your journey towards emotional wellbeing. It is truly the honor of a lifetime to be a therapist.

Kate is a knowledgeable, caring clinician who is trained in several modalities and has a wealth of tools to utilize a personalized approach depending on her client’s needs. I would recommend Kate to any of my friends or family that were seeking therapeutic support.
Kate is a thoughtful, understanding, and empowering therapist and human. She genuinely cares about those she works with and holds herself to high professional standards so she shows up well for each client. She has a very thorough toolbox of interventions, including EMDR and play therapy, and she is collaborative with clients in how to best structure therapy to meet their goals. I cannot recommend Kate more enthusiastically!
I worked under Kate’s supervision for two years while working toward licensure. She uses a well-rounded, client-centered approach tailored to each person’s unique needs. Kate is certified in EMDR and synergetic play therapy and stays current on research to continually grow as a clinician. She also leads a private practice consultation group and is highly regarded by the families she works with.
