Over the course of a long career, Kate has been influenced and enlivened by a wide variety of teachers and experiences. She studied child development and began her career as a nursery school and elementary school teacher. She went on to train as a Clinical Social Worker, and has been a psychotherapist since 1993. As a writer and a pragmatist, she was initially drawn to Solution Oriented and Narrative therapy. A longing to be more effective in treating trauma led her to train in EMDR in 2000. In 2009 she began learning AEDP. Kate fell in love with the model from the start, and in the years since has enjoyed her AEDP related experiences immensely. |
