About Me

Hi. I’m Katherine and I am a passionate and curious therapist specializing in couples, relationships, and sexual health.

My Training

I have specialized training in couples and relationships therapy, and draw from elements of emotionally focused therapy, solutions focused therapy, narrative therapy, and attachment-based therapy. An integrated approach to therapy allows me to meet you where you are at and tailor our work together to best fit your needs.
