Been seeing her for nearly over 2 years now! Always attentive, compassionate, and always there to lend an ear and offer advice! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a therapist or friend!

Katherine is very receptive and can offer sympathy, empathy, and great coping skills and advice. I came to BetterHelp because I am a full-time mom and employee, and don’t have much extra time for appointments. With Katherine I’m able to go to my car on lunch and speak with her. Every time our sessions end, I am leaving the session in a rejuvenated state of mind. I highly recommend her, and enjoy her as my therapist.

Katherine really listens to you and gives genuine, unique, personal advice and not canned, cliche therapy advice.
