About Katherine
Howdy!
My name is Katherine (she/her) and I am an HCPC certified art psychotherapist. I am passionate about working with individuals to creatively work through trauma. When there are no words to describe the feelings we deal with, artwork can aid in helping us express things in a safe way.
My first goal in therapy is to create a safe space for individuals to come and be themselves. Sessions include a selection of art materials that can be used by the client solely, or alongside the art therapist.
One of the benefits of art therapy is talking is not necessary as materials can be used as substitutes for verbal communication. Sessions can utilize collage, painting, sand tray, drawing, moulding with clay or play dough, creative timelines, or narrative storytelling.
I have a trauma-informed, person centered approach that is rooted in psychodynamic theory.
