Hi, I'm Katherine (she/her) and I'm glad you're here. I am a registered​ psychologist in the province of BC. At this time, I offer therapy to individuals 19 and order, virtually and in person. I invite you to explore my page to determine if we may be a good fit.
My formal training has focused on emotion-based concerns, including treatment and/or management of anxiety disorders, depression, stress, and trouble adjusting to difficult life events. That said, I have a special interest in supporting those whose present difficulties are underpinned by perfectionism, shame, self-criticism, or self-stigma. I believe that our inner critics can hold us back from reaching our full potential and living in line with our values. For that reason, I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are feeling burnt out from trying to "do it all" (e.g., balancing career, responsibilities, relationships, education), who are at a crossroads in life (e.g., relationship dissolution), and/or who are ready to prioritize mental health but aren't sure where to start. In my practice, I emphasize self-exploration to help clients unearth unhelpful patterns and identify the changes they'd like to enact for their wellbeing, with self-compassion. It is my hope that by the end of our time together, my clients feel validated, hopeful, and empowered.
Practice Philosophy
It is my belief that every client is unique, multi-faceted, and ultimately the expert on themselves. For that reason, I see it as important to understand my clients holistically, and the many components of the human experience (e.g., early influences, physical health, relationships, thoughts, emotions, behaviours) that converge to affect our overall well-being. This in turn, can also promote self-exploration and help clients and I better understand what has not been working or getting in the way of meaningful living.​
I provide treatment through a person-centred or humanistic lens, meaning that genuineness, empathy, and non-judgment are at the core of my practice. I invite my clients to show up as their authentic selves. You are likely to find my approach to be non-directive, meaning that we'll have ongoing discussions about your goals, collaboratively decide what happens in therapy, and adapt to your needs or preferences (e.g., communicating about what works or doesn't work). I welcome honest conversations about if I am a good fit for you, and I am always happy to make a referral to meet your needs.
