More about Katherine
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LMSW
I am a mental health therapist licensed in Michigan with over 5 years of experience working with substance use and co-occurring disorders. I have assisted clients with depression and anxiety, relapse prevention, codependency and other mental health diagnoses.
I believe that each client is the expert of their own life, and it is my job to assist them in achieving their goals through empowerment and self-determination. Utilizing motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused perspectives and trauma informed practices I partner with each client to create a person-centered plan to make their desired ambitions a reality.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

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.

She’s the best
Katherine truly listens when I tell my story and works with me to process and understand my issues
Compassionate, Patient and encouraging .
Katherine is an extremely empathetic professional and a very good listener. I highly recommend her if you just need someone to hear you or if you are working on deeper issues.
In a world where time is short, lives are in crisis, and there aren’t enough mental health resources, Better Help comes along and offers an opportunity to learn from a golden woman who totally gets it. Katherine is exceptional because she has experienced the tough times and endured hardships and complications herself. Everyone knows you can’t talk to a priest about marriage! But you can talk to Katherine about anything. She listens and hears you, she fills every session with integrity and truly is genuine with her caring responses and helpful options.
This is the best therapy experience I have ever had. I feel important, heard and never rushed. Never thought therapy was something I would enjoy but Katherine has created a safe space in which I look forward to joining week after week.
Really talented therapist! I have difficulty opening up to most people and Katherine makes it so easy.
We are just getting started and things are going well. Katherine listens and gives good helpful feedback, information and tools to help me.
Wonderful and understanding.
Very helpful
Good therapist
She is absolutely amazing kind caring and very loving.
Katherine is a wonderful person that will rapidly become your safe space. She helped me work through some rough stuff I had been dealing with for years and I am incredibly grateful for that.
great at what she does!
She is very nice and easy to talk to. Always listen and really appears to care about the situations. I am pleasantly surprised at the ease at which I was able to interact with her. Great person, better therapist.
Kathrine is calm, cool & collected & always very professional. She’s amazing at taking things I’ve said at beginnings of meetings & addressing them again toward the end of meetings to give me great advice & exercises.
She’s such a soothing presence, even her voice gives me this weird sense of security. On top of that she’s just very genuine and great. She gives me a lot of tools to use and challenges me a lot and it has all been very eye opening and helpful.
Katherine has been so helpful. She's made me feel more confident in my decision-making ability, and I've already told 3 friends to sign up for BetterHelp and ask for her!
Katherine makes sure there is progress on what we identified as areas I need to work on while never being too pushy. I feel like she is very competent and she is a very good listener. She supplies good material to enable working on your goals outside of the sessions. Would fully recommend working with her.
She is amazing! She has really helped me reached my full potential. She is a great listener and an amazing therapist who always asks me questions so I could understand why I am feeling the way I am and how I can solve it.
When I meet with Katherine, I feel listened to. She also takes care to remember what is going on in my life and I feel cared about with her. I highly recommend her.
Katherine is amazing
Katherine is very empathic and queues in to your feelings. It was very helpful to me when she told me I settled for less. It was straight forward. Call out the behavior and help understand why it is occurring and work toward healing and moving on.
She’s a wonderful listener and supporter and counselor. She is comforting and understanding, and really wants to work with me on things. I feel held.
She listens to hear and understand what I’m saying not just to respond. i’ve been extremely comfortable sharing and opening up trusting that when she speaks it will be words of wisdom is not just something that sounds good. Definitely appreciate our time together.
