Our Team

Hi, I'm Katherine! I'm an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) who feels deeply passionate about working with children, families, and adults navigating life's hardest moments. I specialize in working with elementary-aged children, drawing on play therapy and evidence-based prevention work as a previous certified Incredible Years facilitator. I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions, using an integrative approach rooted in CBT and ACT. My approach to therapy is warm, genuine, and collaborative — I believe healing happens best in a space where you feel truly safe and seen.

‍

I love working with...

children, teens, and emerging adults in any capacity, as well as families looking to strengthen their connection and improve communication. I have a special passion for supporting military families and military spouses navigating the unique challenges of that lifestyle. I also work with adults managing anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions, helping each person find healing and growth in a way that feels authentic to who they are.

‍

Some of my favorite approaches include...

play therapy, CBT, and ACT — I love how each of these tools can be tailored to meet a client exactly where they are. I am also a certified Incredible Years facilitator, which has deeply shaped how I think about prevention, early intervention, and the power of building skills early in life. I approach every client through a trauma-informed and culturally humble lens, recognizing that each person's background, identity, and lived experience are central to who they are and how they heal. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of everything — when a client feels truly safe and genuinely seen, that is where the real work begins. My goal for every client is simple: to leave our work together feeling more grounded, more confident, and more connected to themselves and the life they want to live.

How I help...

My style as a therapist is warm, genuine, and collaborative — I show up for every session as my full, authentic self because I believe that realness is contagious. When clients feel that their therapist is truly present and human, it makes it easier for them to be present and human too. I take the therapeutic relationship seriously and invest deeply in building a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged.I am a firm believer in meeting clients exactly where they are — there is no timeline for healing and no one-size-fits-all approach. I will follow your lead, ask a lot of questions, and always be curious about your unique story. I also believe that laughter and lightness have a place in therapy — healing doesn't always have to be heavy.Above all, I want you to know that I am in your corner. Every single session.

‍

I believe...

...every person who walks through my door deserves to feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for. I believe healing is not linear and that there is no such thing as being "too much" in this space. And I deeply believe that the right therapeutic relationship can change everything.

What it's like in session with me

Expect warmth, honesty, and genuine curiosity about who you are. I am not a blank slate therapist — I show up as a real person who laughs and genuinely cares. Our first sessions will be all about building trust at whatever pace feels right for you. You can expect to leave feeling a little lighter than when you walked in.
