It's Kathleen, clinical director of KSTS.

The world feels so heavy. I recorded this one a few weeks ago and it feels topical, because anger is definitely a valid response to what it happening right now.

Resolutions often focus on a specific outcome, while values focus on how you want to live. One is about reaching a finish line. The other is about direction.

Values support flexibility and self compassion because they allow room for real life. You can still move forward even when plans change or progress feels slow.

Many New Year's resolutions feel like a "black cloud" hovering over our heads. They are often external goals, like a specific number on a scale, that feel too far outside of ourselves to maintain when life gets busy.

Instead of choosing rigid resolutions, try defining your values.
Values are more manageable because they are internal guides:

They are versatile: A value like "health" acts as a tool in any situation, helping you decide whether to skip that extra beer or prioritize rest.
They provide accountability: Because values live inside you, they give you control over your actions rather than being an external pressure.
They allow for growth: You don't have to be perfect; you simply "grow into" your values over time.

Whether you value the pursuit of curiosity over money or challenge over comfort, defining these priorities makes the hard decisions much clearer.
Stop running from resolutions and start growing into your values. 🧭

Ever notice how a tiny deadline makes you scroll Instagram, but a “real” deadline has you suddenly writing like a novelist in 10 minutes? That’s the Yerkes Dodson Law in action. A little stress boosts focus, too much stress? Total brain meltdown. 😅

Finding your sweet spot between relaxed and overloaded is the key to getting things done without burning out.

Therapist hot take: stop doing hard stuff just for the sake of it 💁🏼‍♀️

Ever try to stop a random, unwelcome thought… and suddenly it’s all you can think about? That’s your brain trolling you. The more you fight it, the louder it gets.

Instead, notice it, shrug internally, and let it pass. Over time, these pesky thoughts lose their power and your stress goes down. Think of it as giving your brain a little “chill pill” without the actual pill. 😅

Changing how you relate to intrusive thoughts is key. Notice the thought, label it as meaningless, and let it pass without engaging. Over time, this reduces its intensity and helps you stay focused on daily life.

Welcome!

My name is Kathleen and I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Accredited Music Therapist. If you are here, perhaps you are looking for support in navigating life's roadblocks, seemingly big or small. I believe that everyone has the strengths and resources to create change and healing in their own life. In my work, I use a holistic and strengths-based approach to promote psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This means that we use your own strengths and abilities to work towards making positive change and becoming the fullest version of yourself.

As an Accredited Music Therapist, I am trained to use music in all forms in psychotherapy sessions. This could include listening, making, or creating music. How we choose to incorporate music depends on your strengths, interests and goals. For many people, music is already important for well-being. Music psychotherapy provides an opportunity to bring music's inherent therapeutic power into sessions! There is no musical background necessary to benefit from services.

I specialize in working with teenagers and adults looking to better their mental health and well-being. My clinical experience includes work in mental health care across the lifespan, and in dementia care. I have experience working with individuals with a wide range of mental health issues including mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders and, post-traumatic stress disorder. In addition to being the owner and lead therapist at KS Therapy Services, I work in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health program at Grand River Hospital.

Thanks for stopping by! If you would like to learn more, feel free to check out the my website or book a free initial consultation.
