Hey! I’m Katherine, a therapist who believes meaningful change begins when you feel truly heard. To me, therapy should feel like having coffee with a friend - just one who’s trained in mental health. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and I'm on a mission to change that. Whether you’re moving through big life transitions, working through anxiety or past trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to support you with compassion, curiosity, and a healthy dose of humour along the way.
I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and mindfulness/trauma-based practices - but at the heart of it all is a collaborative relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and maybe even a little lighter by the end of each session - no pressure, no judgment.
My style is collaborative, compassionate, and real. We’ll work together to understand your unique experiences and find strategies that actually fit your life - not just sound good in theory. I’m here to hold space, ask thoughtful questions, and gently remind you of your strength, especially on the days it’s hard to see it yourself. I'm just an email away!

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside an attachment-based, person-centered, and strength-based approach. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and determine the best path forward. With CBT, we'll examine how thoughts shape emotions and experiences, while also building on your strengths and relationships to foster healing and growth.
