Find a Therapist

Welcome! 

As a compassionate therapist, I strive to support individuals in gaining empowerment in their lives. I believe that you are the expert in your life, and my goal is to meet you where you are and walk with you as a partner through your healing or growth journey. 

I understand that humans are complex and can face a variety of challenging experiences throughout life that create difficult or unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to manage. I approach mental health from a compassionate, and holistic perspective. 

I am passionate about creating a supportive, liberating, and non-judgmental space for all individuals, with an emphasis on the liberation of people of color, women, and women during pregnancy and their mothering journey.

I am trained in Cognitive Therapies, trauma-focused modalities, Brainspotting, parts-work, and Maternal Mental Health. In addition to practicing traditional therapeutic models, I enjoy providing alternative methods to healing such as guided meditation, breathwork, and other holistic approaches. 

About Me: I am a California native! I received my Master of Social Work Degree from Indiana University and have worked as a therapist and an advocate for individuals and families in need of resources and support. 

I believe that we all have healing power within each of us and I am here to support you in accessing this power. I look forward to connecting with you.

Hello there. I am Katherine.

In therapy, we will work to identify unhelpful behavioral patterns and negative thoughts that keep us stuck. Most importantly, together we will replace behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs that don’t serve us in fulfilling our desires or support our overall wellness. I believe all of us have the resilience within us to move forward and overcome whatever life situations arise. 

My goal is to support and work alongside you on your journey to wellness. Thus, I create a safe, open space to unravel what keeps us stuck or in distress while encouraging growth and strength. I utilize a wide range of evidence-based interventions from Psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I work with teens and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, relationship difficulties, co-dependency, and other life difficulties. 

I completed my master's degree at California State University of Long Beach (CSULB). I am currently an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist.

“Our capacity to destroy one another is matched by our capacity to heal one another.” 

- Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps The Score

I believe that we as human beings naturally strive to heal and survive. Like how a wound, uninterrupted, scabs over and becomes new skin, so does the human mind and spirit work to repair itself in the face of trauma.

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” - Maya Angelou

I believe in practicing a holistic approach and treating the whole person when comes to counseling. Our mental health is affected by a combination of physical, psychological, and environmental experiences. Addressing all aspects of a client’s life, allows me to personalize treatment specific to the client’s needs rather than focusing on only treating symptoms of a deeper issue. Ultimately, I work to create a positive, warm, supportive, and constructive environment where clients feel free to say whatever is on their minds without fear of judgment. I strive to create an atmosphere in which clients feel accepted, learned, protected, and understood. 

My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, grief & loss, and trauma. I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, and adults of all ages and CBT, DBT, and strengths-based therapy. Currently, I am working toward certification to provide EDMR. 

A little bit about my background is I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Arizona State University. I am now pursuing my Master of Social Work degree from the same university specializing in Health and Behavioral Health. In my free time, I like reading, painting, watching sports, and cooking.
