My name is Katherine. I have a M.S. in Creative Arts Therapy from Nazareth College. I'm currently working under a Limited Permit in Creative Arts Therapy.

I have over 20 years of experience working in high schools, colleges, and outplacement settings providing career and educational coaching. I work with teens, college students and adults working toward career and educational goals, striving to improve communication and navigate systems more effectively. Following are just a few of the areas where I can provide coaching and support: navigating special education meetings with school districts and obtaining accommodations in higher education, preparing for and making college-related decisions, pursuing gainful employment, parenting, & managing stress.

When a person is struggling, I look at the big picture, not just "problems" or "symptoms." Through a strengths-based perspective, I try to see how the problem areas came to be, formulate a plan to address concerns, and actively teach skills to foster change. Through this lens, I have successfully worked with kids (as young as 5), teens, and young adults to address depression, anxiety, self-harm, OCD, ADHD, and other behavioral and emotional disturbances.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. Seeking counseling for yourself or your loved one takes strength and compassion, and can be the first step in creating a brighter future. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families, and my experience includes supporting youth and young adults with various diagnoses including anxiety, depression, and autism. I utilize CBT and strength based approaches, while meeting my clients where they are at in their growth and healing. I support clients through their journey and transitions, and areas where they are seeking support, such as school, employment, and with their peers and families.

There are many complexities that can make the therapy processes overwhelming. This can be a challenge to navigate, and my goal as a therapist is to help you through authenticity and open communication/dialogue.

I believe in utilizing an integrative, client-centered approach that's informed through elements of systems theory, anti-oppressive theory, gender theory, intersectional feminism, and trauma-informed care.

Thank you so much for your interest in my practice! Being a parent or caregiver can offer its ups and downs.

Often people interested in therapy are stuck or overwhelmed by a problem they have been trying to resolve. Sometimes the problem is not even clear. Yet, almost always the goal is relief from the struggle along with a sense of some mastery over the problem. Having studied both philosophy and psychology for many years, coupled with my history as an Executive Coach, my goal is to provide a broad range of tools and support so that the therapeutic experience brings about relief and a sense of success.

I believe in working to understand people through listening, curiosity, empathy, and non-judgment. Gender, sex, and sexuality are all based on the individual bringing a uniqueness to what they might mean or how they show up. There may be a disconnect from who you want to or believe yourself to be and who you are right now. I am particularly interested in helping to close this gap, and gain a stronger understanding of the pieces in one’s life that influence and get in the way of discovering your authentic self. All your emotions serve a purpose and are trying to communicate something to you.
