Welcome! My name is Katherine. I have been a licensed independent clinical social worker for 30 yrs. I also have a 2nd master degree in nursing and worked as a licensed RN and nursing professor for a decade. This mental health/health combo has helped me to understand the very close relationships between our brain chemistry, our physical wellbeing and our mental health the enormous differences hope and support can bring to or take from our physical and and mental abilities, the multitude of ways and places a therapist can intervene - as a gain in any one one area, just as a loss, spills over into all the others. Finally I have been on both sides of the therapeutic relationship and the hospital bed, and it has given me a new perspective on what clients have to go through and the level of courageit takes to show your wounds to a stranger.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to collecting evidenced based "tools for my toolbox" to aid those grappling with finding the new normal after their world has shifted.
