More about Katherine
- 31 years' experience

- LMHC
As a licensed therapist in Massachusetts with over three decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with compassionate, personalized care.
I graduated from Fitchburg State University with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and earned a post-master’s certificate in Family Systems Therapy. I have over 30 years of experience working in the mental health field, with extensive experience supporting adolescents, teenagers, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I currently serve as a clinical coordinator at a special education therapeutic K–12 school.
I specialize in treating anxiety, substance use, non-suicidal self-injury, and anger-related challenges. I am a board-certified PTSD clinician, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), and a school adjustment counselor (all levels). I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) as well as Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency (ARC). My work is grounded in a strength-based approach, and I tailor treatment to each individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
I have deep expertise in supporting women’s mental health, young adults, and individuals struggling with social anxiety, mood disorders, and self-esteem challenges. My approach focuses on understanding each person’s unique journey while fostering self-compassion, improving communication skills, and building healthy coping strategies.
In my therapeutic work, I emphasize healing from past experiences, managing workplace challenges, and navigating significant life transitions. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel safe exploring their emotions, building resilience, and cultivating meaningful personal growth.
With a commitment to empathetic, evidence-based care, I aim to help clients transform difficult experiences into opportunities for self-discovery and emotional wellness.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
