About me
I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania, and I have worked in the mental health field since 2005. I have worked with a wide range of clients from adolescents and adults in both individual and group settings. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and communication difficulties.
As a strong mental health advocate, I address the societal and cultural causes and solutions to issues faced in the counseling process. I work to build a welcoming, safe space to empower individual clients in creating positive change. I believe that by focusing on a client's strengths, and accepting and validating a client's experience, emotional healing can occur. I use tools and techniques such as role-playing, and assertiveness training to help clients build their identity and self-esteem to the degree that they can embrace their own personal power. I am dedicated to using evidence-based practices and my approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution focused therapy. I tailor the dialog and treatment plan to meet a client's unique and specific needs.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Cultural Studies as well as a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I am a strong advocate for self-care and therefore prioritizes practices such as meditation and breath-work to achieve a healthy state of mind and overall well-being.

Katharine is the best therapist. She truly takes her time to get to know me. She is genuine, kind, and understanding. She also validates my feelings, which helps me feel like I’m heard.

Katherine has been nothing but comforting, supportive, and caring towards my specific needs. She remembers exactly what I am going through and I have had a wonderful experience so far. I can’t wait to continue. Best therapy I’ve had yet.

Katherine was very kind and open with me. I wasn’t able to start a session with her due to our schedules but for anyone wanting to work with her, she’s a great therapist from what I see.

Kathrine is phenomenal! She’s the best therapist I have ever had. I feel so comfortable talking to her. She listens to me, gives me feed back, and asks me questions & more! I’ve never had a therapist who does everything that she does. I appreciate her help so much ♥️
