I've been licensed to practice psychology for over thirty years. I am retired from work for the Federal Bureau of Prisons where I worked with individuals (staff and inmates) experiencing extreme life circumstances as well as depression, anxiety and family issues. After I retired, I had my own business as a matchmaker, but found that I was missing my therapeutic work. I did learn quite a bit during my 4+ years as a matchmaker about what works and what doesn't work in the search for a life mate. This is an extra set of skills I bring to the table in working with folks.
One therapy style does not fit all, so I work to tailor my approach to what my clients request and what they need. Sometimes a deep dive into the historic underpinnings of current life problems is warranted, but sometimes a problem-solving approach is appropriate. I work with people to figure out what their goals are for therapy and to tailor my interventions accordingly. I also believe therapy should not be like experiencing a root canal! I work to bring perspective to my clients and to help them experience joy even in the midst of difficult situations.

Best Dr. Ever
Written on Dec 14, 2023 after therapy with Katherine for 2 years and 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes
I was matched with Dr Kate when I was in a place of complete confusion about my relationship and my fear of commitment, but as we worked together so many other areas of life came up that needed to be discussed, healed, released. Childhood traumas, limiting beliefs, lack of self-worth which lead me to have habits and patterns of perfectionism, self-neglect and self-sabotage. Over the last 6 months of working with Dr Kate, I feel far more connected and loving to myself, and my relationship has taken the next step in commitment as well. She offers a safe place, with a loving but direct way of offering you the support you need each session. I highly recommend working with her and I'm very grateful we were matched.
