Hi, I’m Katherine.
I believe therapy is magic.
Not the magic of fairytales that instantly transforms you. More like the slow, inevitable magic of a caterpillar molting and growing wings.
As your therapist, I will be a co-explorer on your journey of transformation. It will sometimes be painful, sometimes joyful, often mysterious. You may begin to:
Build awareness of how your past affects your relationships today so that you can shift your patterns.
Create space from your self-critic so you can experience kinder and more trusting parts of yourself.
Find confidence in your voice and communicate in a healthy way.
Move through your anxiety and depression to reconnect with the vibrant and powerful person you are.
If you want to feel more alive, powerful, and playful, therapy can help.
My holistic approach integrates mind, body, and spirit and is grounded in Gestalt psychotherapy, which focuses on present-moment awareness. Therapy with me is trauma-informed and also draws from liberation psychology, existential theory, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
I love working with teens and adults who are Latinx, bicultural, immigrants, and outsiders. If you speak English, Spanish, or Spanglish, you are welcome!
