LPC, 17 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi, thereI’m Katherine — Therapist, Deep Listener, and Occasional Metaphor Enthusiast. If you’ve landed here, chances are something in your life isn’t feeling quite right — maybe you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted from trying to hold everything together. First off, welcome. You don’t have to figure this out alone. My approach is a blend of psychodynamic therapy (looking at the deeper roots and patterns that shape who we are) with a healthy sprinkle of CBT (because sometimes our thoughts really do need a gentle fact-check). Think of it as exploring your emotional world and building some new tools for the journey. I’m here to help you connect the dots — between past and present, self-doubt and self-worth, fear and possibility — and to help you uncover the quiet confidence that’s already there (even if it’s been hiding under a pile of “shoulds” and “not good enoughs”). Therapy with me tends to include a bit of humor, a lot of compassion, and a belief that growth doesn’t have to feel like homework. Together, we’ll slow things down, get curious about what’s really going on, and build a life that feels more like “you” You don’t need to have the right words, or even know where to start. Just bring yourself — I’ll meet you there.
Therapy with me is collaborative, sometimes even a little funny (because humor helps us breathe), and always grounded in warmth and respect. I aim to create a space where your whole self is welcome — your pain, your hope, your sarcasm, your joy. You don’t have to perform here. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You’ve already taken the hardest step by being here. Let’s take the next one together!
I think that if therapy had a recipe, mine would call for equal parts compassion, curiosity, creativity, and coffee (lots of coffee). My greatest strengths lie in helping people feel seen, safe, and a little lighter — even when we’re talking about heavy things. I find it helpful to be creative and flexible — sometimes we’ll explore through storytelling, metaphors, or humor; sometimes we’ll get real about tough emotions and what it takes to move through them. Basically, the TLDR is that therapy with me is a mix of depth and laughter, honesty and hope. I believe growth doesn’t have to be grim — sometimes healing starts with a sigh of relief, a good laugh, or finally being able to say, “Okay, I can work with this.”
I work best with LGBTQIA+ folks, adolescents, children, trauma survivors, and people managing chronic health conditions. My clients are often deep thinkers, feelers, or overachievers — people who’ve learned to be strong for everyone else but are ready to understand why they feel stuck, tired, or unseen. If you’re looking for a therapist who will sit with you in the messy middle, help you connect dots you didn’t know existed, and gently remind you that healing doesn’t mean becoming someone new — it means coming home to yourself — then we might be a good fit.
