Serendipity Psychotherapy is a psychotherapy practice that specializes in trauma recovery and couples therapy. Each client is unique, so services are approached with a sensitivity to cultural, contextual, relational, societal, and biological factors. As each client finds their power in healing one area of their lives, other areas tend to follow as a result, often without being purposefully sought after!
You love each other, but something keeps getting in the way. The same arguments, the same silence, the same ache that things should feel better than this. I work with couples who feel stuck in painful, repetitive patterns, often shaped by trauma or attachment wounds that have gone unspoken for too long. Using an integrative, nervous-system-aware approach, I help you reconnect at the root, so you’re not just communicating better, you’re feeling safer with each other, too. Our work together brings forth practical change.
When weekly therapy isn’t enough or the right fit, a Relationship Intensive offers focused, strategic support for those times when you need real, lasting change quickly. Tailored to your unique needs, these sessions provide a deep dive into your challenges without the distractions of group settings or the pressure of weekly appointments. Whether you're navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or facing a life transition, intensives give you the momentum you need to move forward on your terms.
Healing from trauma is hard enough — even more so when the source was a person, family, institution, or belief system that was supposed to keep you safe. If you're carrying relational PTSD, spiritual abuse, or confusion after leaving a high-control religious environment, you are not alone. EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based tool that helps gently untangle the past from your present, so you can move forward with clarity, calm, and your own inner compass.
Being the first in your family to go to therapy, question old dynamics, or set boundaries is courageous, and incredibly heavy. I work with first-generation women and couples who are doing the brave, messy work of interrupting generational cycles while still holding love for where they come from. Together, we’ll create a space where you don’t have to choose between honoring your roots and becoming who you want to be. You’re allowed to take up space and build a life that feels like yours, all while honoring and integrating the best parts of your culture.
You shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality for convenience. Whether you're in Chandler, Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, or a small desert town off the grid, I offer secure, meaningful virtual therapy to individuals and couples across Arizona. From the comfort of your own space, we can still do deep, effective work — no commute, no waiting room, just therapy that actually works for your life without sacrificing the effectiveness of services.
If you’re identifying with any of these areas, you don’t have to carry it all on your own anymore. Let’s do this together.

"I started meeting with Kathy early 2022. Kathy has been incredibly helpful in my journey as I have been working through religious deconstruction, finding personal identity and values, practical skills in managing daily stresses and emotions, and helping address past traumas and removing the triggers associated with them and much much more."

People come to therapy with me because they’re craving real change — not just validation, not just insight, but movement. I respect how much it takes to be here: the time, the energy, the emotional cost. That’s why I’m not here to waste any of it.
My approach is direct, relational, and grounded in real strategy — always with warmth, and often with a little humor. Therapy with me isn’t about passively nodding or waiting for change to happen. It’s collaborative, engaged, and tailored to you — your story, your goals, and your pace.
If that sounds like what you’re looking for, reach out. Let’s find out if this is a good fit.
