The question isn’t, "What's wrong with you?" 

It’s, "What happened to you?”

Understand the source of your problems.

Shift your relationship with your emotions.

Get back in touch with your body.

Trauma often leaves us with a distorted sense of self and emotions that are either too overwhelming or too numb.

I’ll help you learn how to feel your feelings in a healthier way and support you in getting to know all your various parts, so that you can create more harmony within yourself.

I’m Katherine.

I offer somatic therapy to clients who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, negative self-image, poor boundary setting, and emotional overwhelm. I also support people who are struggling to cultivate healthy relationships.

I believe that the root of these problems is always attachment wounds that we sustained in our childhoods. I work with adults who were abused (physically, sexually or emotionally) or emotionally neglected as children. I work with adults who were parentified children, due to a parent’s substance abuse or other unaddressed mental health issues.

I provide psycho-education about the neurobiology of trauma and support my clients in using mindfulness and somatic strategies to regulate their nervous systems. I utilize EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy interventions to support my clients in their healing journeys.

Katherine has helped me see all parts of myself and sat with me in sessions while I explored heavy topics such as grief, and pain. She has a calming presence and pays close attention to how her client responds to meditation and breath work. She is an exceptional trauma therapist. I would highly recommend her services.”
