Katherine was an extremely understanding and accommodating therapist. She did everything she could to continue sessions with me even when our schedules no longer lined up, and was a lovely person to speak with. She is compassionate and a very good listener, understanding that sometimes people need to vent or just word vomit as part of their therapy.
