Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Katherine, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and life transitions. I currently work as a Lead Clinician in a PHP/IOP setting supporting individuals with mental health and co-occurring disorders. My approach integrates EMDR, CBT, DBT, and somatic-based interventions to help clients build insight, emotional regulation, and long-term stability in a supportive and nonjudgmental space.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each client’s individual needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches including EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques to help clients better understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop practical coping skills for daily life.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a space to slow down, discuss what brings you to therapy, and begin identifying goals for treatment. Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we focus on building comfort, understanding patterns, and creating a plan that feels realistic and personalized to their needs.
