Katherine listens carefully and treats clients with respect and sensitivity. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and can begin to make small changes. Her approach is interactive rather than didactic, so sessions usually include discussion and collaborative problem solving.

She also has experience related to adoption and foster care, codependency, dissociation, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Katherine draws on different approaches to match the needs in each session.
Her work uses methods from attachment-focused therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative approaches, and solution-focused strategies. That mix is used to help people reduce symptoms, change unhelpful patterns, and try new ways of coping. Sessions are paced to fit what each person is ready to try.
Katherine encourages people to take a small first step toward feeling better. She helps set achievable goals and supports follow-through between meetings. To begin, a short intake and scheduling step gets the process started.
