I believe that you, your relationships, and your concerns fit together and “make sense” in the overall shape of your life. My job is to listen with curiosity, be present with you, and support you in making manageable shifts, mindful of the overall context and systems in and around you. I come to the field of Marriage/Couple and Family Therapy after many years as a music therapist in hospice, grief, and women’s mental health care. I started work in the healthcare field in 2005, as a direct care provider, and am still as excited and passionate about showing up and being present as the day I started. I like to integrate creative approaches, and connect with what feeds your sense of wholeness.

Katina Redmond

I use an integrative approach from evidence-based foundations to uncover intergenerational and relational dynamics, and provide ways to identify strengths in individuals, couples, and families. I recognize the vulnerability, commitment, and courage it takes to properly heal and acknowledge how intimidating it might feel to entrust an “outsider” with details of your life. I believe developing a good therapeutic relationship early is necessary in the healing journey. My eclecticism is nourished by multicultural awareness and sensitivity, travel journeys and appreciation for holistic wellness.
