Of Two Minds is a deeply personal exploration of bipolar disorder, addiction, motherhood, and recovery—told through three intertwined perspectives: living with bipolar disorder, working as a therapist, and parenting a teenage daughter facing the same diagnosis.
With honesty and vulnerability, Katherine shares her experiences with mood instability, substance use, toxic relationships, shame, healing, and fourteen years of sobriety. She also reveals the heartbreak and helplessness of watching her daughter struggle with mania, offering a rare perspective on what bipolar disorder can look like from both sides.
Blending lived experience with professional insight, Of Two Minds gives readers a compassionate and unfiltered look at the realities of mental illness while reminding them that a diagnosis does not erase the possibility of healing, connection, or hope. This book is for anyone living with bipolar disorder, loving someone who is struggling, recovering from addiction, or trying to find their way back to themselves.
New Courses and Workbooks Are Here!
Couples intensives take the weekly sessions and compact them
into one day of therapeutic work. Learn how to navigate conflict in a healthy
way, learn about attachment styles and how they impact connection, learn about
sacrifice and negotiation, fix communication errors, how to dialogue rather
than argue, heal past wounds, and so much more. This intensive would not be
appropriate for active domestic violence and might not be appropriate for
recent or active infidelity. Those issues often take ongoing work. We would set up 1 free individual session for each person prior to the intensive to create goals for the day of work.
Packages come in two options. Half day (4 Therapeutic hours= 3 hours ) for $750 and Full day (8 Therapeutic hours= 6 hours) for $1500. For full day, lunch provided.

One of the most notable benefits of EMDR therapy is its ability to produce rapid and lasting results. Many clients report feeling significant relief from symptoms after just a few sessions, compared to traditional talk therapy which can take longer to see results.
EMDR therapy is especially effective in treating trauma and PTSD. By addressing the root cause of traumatic memories and processing them in a safe and controlled setting, clients are able to move past their trauma and experience healing.
EMDR therapy has also been shown to be effective in treating anxiety disorders and phobias. Through the process of reprocessing distressing memories and beliefs, clients can learn to manage their anxiety and fears more effectively.
EMDR therapy can help clients develop a more positive self-image and increase their self-esteem. By processing negative beliefs and experiences, individuals can gain a greater sense of self-worth and confidence.
EMDR therapy has been found to improve cognitive functioning by helping individuals change negative thought patterns and beliefs. Clients often report feeling clearer, more focused, and better able to cope with stress after completing EMDR therapy.
EMDR therapy can help individuals develop better emotional regulation skills, enabling them to manage intense emotions more effectively and lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Through the therapeutic process, individuals can gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This self-awareness can help individuals identify patterns that may be contributing to their difficulties and make positive changes in their lives.
Psychotherapy can improve communication skills and help individuals build healthier relationships with others. By addressing underlying issues and learning new ways of relating, individuals can strengthen their connections with loved ones and improve their overall quality of life.
Therapy can provide individuals with tools and strategies to better manage stress and cope with life's challenges. By learning effective coping mechanisms, individuals can reduce feelings of being overwhelmed and improve their ability to handle difficult situations.

Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic approach that harnesses the brain’s innate ability to heal itself. This innovative technique was developed by Dr. David Grand and is based on the understanding that where you look affects how you feel. By identifying specific points in the visual field, brainspotting allows clients to access and process deep-seated emotional and psychological issues, facilitating profound healing.
During a brainspotting session, a trained therapist guides clients to find “brainspots” – particular eye positions that correspond to areas of tension, trauma, or unresolved emotions. As clients focus on these points, they may experience heightened awareness of their inner thoughts and feelings, enabling them to process traumatic memories and reduce distress. This mind-body approach fosters a safe space for exploration, allowing individuals to uncover and release emotional blockages, ultimately leading to greater well-being and resilience. Whether addressing trauma, anxiety, or other mental health challenges, brainspotting is a dynamic pathway toward healing and self-discovery.
You finally have a quiet moment. There is no urgent problem to solve, no difficult conversation happening, and nothing obviously wrong. Yet your chest feels tight, your mind starts searching for problems, and you cannot shake the feeling that something bad is about to happen.
Bipolar disorder doesn’t just affect the person living with it. Its impact can ripple through a marriage or romantic relationship, influencing communication, intimacy, trust, finances, parenting, and the way both partners experience emotional safety.
That doesn’t mean relationships involving bipolar disorder are destined to fail. But building a relationship often requires work.
You may have grown up in a home where you were fed, clothed, protected, and even loved—but your emotional needs were rarely noticed or discussed. Because emotional neglect often involves an absence rather than an obvious harmful event, it can be difficult to recognize. Yet its effects may follow you into adulthood, particularly in your closest relationships.
