I am a licensed psychotherapist in Washington, DC who has practiced as a social worker, spiritual director, and bereavement counselor for over 15 years. I have a Masters of Divinity from Duke University and a Masters of Social Worker from Catholic University of America.

I specialize in supporting individuals through the grief journey, whether it is associated with the transition of a loved one, an ending of a relationship, relocation, or loss of a sense of self or unrealized dream.

I specialize in supporting individuals through the grief journey, whether it is associated with the transition of a loved one, an ending of a relationship, relocation, or loss of a sense of self or unrealized dream. Grief is grief and it deserves to be honored, seen, and healed.

First session

In our first session together, we will create a safe space to explore your goals in therapy, assess your desired outcomes, and create a treatment plan tailored to meet your specific needs.

Strengths

Having worked as a clinician for 20 years, I am uniquely skilled to hold safe space for clients at their most vulnerable moments. I am trained to move through the deeper layers of a client's emotional reservoir so we can heal the root cause of client symptoms using a holistic approach.

Ideal clients

I am best positioned to serve those who are looking for a holistic approach to therapy. I believe in an integrative practice as we have so many layers: physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. Therefore, I tend to work with clients who desire a spiritual/energetic approach to therapy.

Treatment methods

Grief Therapy

I specialize in navigating individuals through the grief journey by using talk therapy along with integrative practices such as energy psychology and spiritual modalities. This approach supports looking at the client as a whole person and moving through the many layers of grief with integrity.

Katherine is so warm and calming. She is non-judgmental and always brings a helpful perspective to any problem. She has helped me navigate through challenging thoughts and emotions that require thoughtful unpacking. She always imparts a few gems that resonate deeply with me long after the session has finished. Can't thank Katherine enough.

We were having some connectivity issues that oddly enough proved to be a great ice breaker. I feel like Kat speaks and understands my "language." I'm excited to work with her.

Kathy allows me to show up in my authentic self and learn more about how and why I am in therapy. She is real and makes me feel comfortable.
