Life stressors and trauma can impact our lives in unexpected ways and reaching out for support takes courage. I value collaborating with individuals to curate space for their healing journey. As a trauma therapist, I am committed to establishing an environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I practice from a trauma informed, relational, and anti-oppressive perspective and believe that each person's journey is unique and deserving of respect. My approach is rooted in an appreciation for the diverse backgrounds and identities that each person brings to the therapeutic relationship.

Whether you are looking to begin therapy after a life change or traumatic experience, or are just hoping to find a space where you can fully be yourself, I am so glad you are here. Being allowed to come alongside someone as they face deep hurt and vulnerability, to challenge and celebrate them, to laugh and cry with them, is such an honor for me. My hope is our time in therapy holds space for you, a space where you can explore previously unknown and unacceptable parts of yourself, a space where change can take place.

When I think about life and growth, lyrics from a Grateful Dead song feel relevant: "Sometimes the light's all shining on me, other times I can barely see. Lately, it occurs to me, what a long, strange trip it's been." This trip of life we're on can often be overwhelming, uncertain, full of highs and lows, and difficult transitions. Therapy can be a valuable support system to help process these wide-ranging experiences and their impacts while navigating how to cope so that we can cultivate full, meaningful lives.

I believe what is most effective in therapy is finding someone who makes you feel truly seen and heard. Finding one's voice is challenging enough, and going unheard or misunderstood can be incredibly lonely and can alter our perceptions of our lives, our futures, and ourselves. I enjoy supporting others in finding their voice and rediscovering who they are through each chapter they encounter in their lives. The therapy journey can be long and on-going but is worth every step of effort to reach the level of healing and confidence we all deserve.

Hi, I’m Katherine! I help people with complex trauma and dissociation feel more present, grounded, and connected. I do my best work with teens and young adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, attachment wounding, and grief and loss. My clients often feel overwhelmed by their emotions, struggling to understand them. They may have a hard time feeling safe in relationships. They sometimes feel unsure about who they are and what they want/need. Through coming to therapy, they are hoping to feel more stable, capable of handling what life throws at them, and secure in their relationships with themselves and the people they love.
