“Katherine’s attunement skills are amazing. She makes you feel seen, validated, and helps you make connections within yourself that you may not see. She is very knowledgeable in sexual abuse victims and how that can show up. She helped me become more focused in handling everyday stressors as well as my trauma experienced around patriarchy and sexual abuse. She is a nice blend of being personable as well as an expert in what she does. She is absolutely someone you need to walk hand in hand on your healing journey.”
