General Info

While completing a graduate degree in a caring profession in Germany, I gained more understanding of the connection between a healthy mind and body. This led me to continue with a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. After graduating from Hope International University I gained experience working with various populations. I helped clients manage their anxious and depressive symptoms, increase communication plus parenting skills, process traumatic experiences and much more. Furthermore, I grew my therapeutic skills through qualified education and practice in: EMDR, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Parent Child Interaction Therapy. My specialties are anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and behavioral problems. Additionally, I have insight on the psychological demands that are put on athletes and high performers due to having been a professional athlete myself. I am passionate about people receiving good therapy. In order to further that, I am teaching undergrad and graduate students about counseling at Hope International University. I am working on becoming an EMDR certified therapist plus continue to educate myself on the newest developments in the field. My goal is to be as helpful as possible for the people who decide to work with me. Kathrin Winkler, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Lic # 84283)
