She brings 11 years of licensure experience and more than a decade working in mental health and developmental disability settings. Katherine aims for straightforward, respectful therapy that helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and relationship struggles.
She uses an eclectic, client-centered style that adapts to each person's needs. Sessions are interactive and direct, with honest feedback when it will help. Katherine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to shape practical steps people can try between sessions.
Her background includes work in special education, intensive in-home services, team leadership, and outpatient therapy. Those roles involved helping people with trauma, attention difficulties, depression, and behavior challenges. Katherine has experience supporting people navigating grief, addiction, parenting stress, and identity concerns.
In therapy she listens first, then helps clients set clear, achievable goals. The work often focuses on clearer communication, building coping skills, and changing patterns that keep problems repeating. Katherine also addresses issues such as codependency, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, and body image when they come up.
She welcomes clients who prefer a practical, collaborative approach. Katherine explains options and tailors plans to what each person is trying to change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people clarify what matters most and shape goals that feel genuine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with core emotions to improve connections and navigate relationship pain.Finding the right approach is a process. Katherine works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's needs, goals, and comfort level. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust plans as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and practical.
