Hi, I’m Katherine! I’m a warm, down-to-earth clinician who believes therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who genuinely gets it—not a place where you feel like judged or lectured. I’m a big believer in being able to laugh together when the moment calls for it, while also making space for the hard stuff. I’m caring but goal-oriented, and I’ll work with you to figure out what you want to get out of therapy and help you take steps toward getting there.
