Drawing on her own healing journey, Katherine integrates eclectic approaches such as CBT, ACT, somatic practices, mindfulness, self-compassion, faith and spiritual-based elements, solution-focused therapy, EFT, and IFS to support her clients. She is dedicated to holding space for destigmatizing mental health support within the Black community, ensuring that each client has the space to explore and heal.
Katherine specializes in working with adults facing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, grief, and stress management. She is particularly passionate about supporting individuals with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and those seeking to break generational cycles of trauma. Katherine is also LGBTQIA+-affirming and committed to fostering inclusive, healing environments for all clients.
