About Katherine

A little about how I work

I'm a student therapist working toward my LMHC licensure in Washington State, currently supervised by Dr. Rebecca Glose at A Better Way Counseling Service in Vancouver, WA. I hold an MBA from the University of Phoenix and I'm completing my MA in Counseling at Northwestern University.

But here's what matters more than my credentials: I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation — not a session where you perform being okay, and I perform having answers.

My Approach

What actually happens in session

My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed. That means I'm not going to hand you a list of coping strategies and call it a day. We'll actually look at what's underneath — the patterns, the history, the places where things got stuck — and work from there.

I draw from several frameworks depending on what you need. Not every approach fits every person, and part of what we do early on is figure out what actually works for you.

Solution-Focused Therapy

When you need forward momentum and a clear sense of what's possible.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

When you're exhausted from fighting yourself and need a different relationship with your thoughts.

Psychodynamic Exploration

When the past keeps showing up in the present in ways that don't quite make sense yet.

Somatic & Mindfulness

When the work needs to get out of your head and into your body.

You don't have to know which of those you need. That's what we figure out together.
