More about Katherine
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in individual and group therapy. I have a strong background of experience helping those who are facing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma recovery, infertility, substance abuse and recovery and chronic pain.
My goal is to meet you where you are today and help you to carve a path forward that builds upon your strengths, honors you as an individual, and helps you to uncover the thinking and behavior patterns that create obstacles in your path. I offer empathy, compassion, and the ability to truly listen to your story with openness, curiosity, and without judgment . With a strong background in psychodynamic and narrative therapy approaches, I seek to explore how early relationships have impacted your sense of identity and your struggles. I hope collaborate with you to find ways to retell your story in a way that fosters healing.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
