Hey! I'm Katherine, a mom, wife, and mental health counselor. I'm passionate about providing a safe space for people to work through some hard things. I'd love working with you if you have a general idea of your goals but don't know how to get there on your own. I'm trained in different types of therapy but I'm missing information that only you can bring to the table: your life experiences, passions, and vulnerabilities. Let's work toward increasing the knowledge you have about yourself, being able to recognize your emotions and how they affect your body, and learning to sit with the uncomfortable stuff.
