As a licensed therapist in Washington, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, overcome isolation, and rediscover their sense of purpose. I have extensive experience supporting individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders, with a particular focus on women's mental health and midlife transitions.
My therapeutic work is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore challenging emotions, heal from past experiences, and develop healthier coping strategies. Whether you're managing panic attacks, working through self-esteem challenges, or seeking to understand yourself more deeply, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.
I believe in a holistic approach that honors your individual strengths and supports your personal growth. Together, we'll work collaboratively to help you build resilience, cultivate self-love, and move toward the life you envision.

Katherine has truly been helping me. I’ve never had a therapist so attentive, kind but also proactive in exactly what I need. I feel lucky she’s my therapist I’m actually working through what I signed up for therapy for.
