Hi, I’m Katherine, your anxiety, stress, and anger management therapist.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, I am based in Orange County, CA. I work with clients throughout California via my virtual office on a HIPAA compliant platform. 

I help adults who are exhausted from doing everything for everyone and feeling like they aren’t getting anywhere. Feel like their emotions are controlling them, and worried about so many things they can’t think straight.  Adults that struggle with their anger and impulsivity, that don’t like how angry they get but can’t seem to change it. You aren’t alone, and you don’t have to go through this alone.  I work hard to earn my client’s trust, so they can truly feel safe in the therapeutic space so they can start making meaningful changes in their lives.  

My clients experience a sense of relief at being able to let their feelings and thoughts out with someone who is impartial and warm.  They find me to be kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and understanding. They also experience growth and change over their time in therapy, not just a reduction in their symptoms, and experience an increase in confidence in their relationships, their career and how they feel about themselves. Sometimes there are worksheets and assignments, sometimes there is humor, mostly there will be understanding, encouragement, support, honesty, and no judgment.   

For over 20 years I have worked with people who have anxiety, anger, worry, panic attacks, impulsivity, rage, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues, occupational issues, and emotional dysregulation.  I work collaboratively to help them reach their goals and become the confident person they want to be.  My clients typically have virtual sessions with me weekly so they have consistent support to implement new ways of thinking, and address issues on a consistent basis.  The weekly schedule allows them time to integrate what they have learned, as well as process what is currently happening in their lives. I often integrate coping skills, mindfulness, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), thought reframing, motivational interviewing (MI), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and metaphors to help put things into context.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel scary and hard. It can be a safe place where you can truly be yourself and not be judged and be supported on your journey to being your best self…
