Hi, I'm Katharine. It's nice to meet you.
I work with individuals and couples (all relationships welcome), specializing in issues surrounding anxiety, depression, relationships, and trauma.
With warmth and wisdom, I help clients develop new ways of thinking about - and experiencing - life and relationships. And together, we develop concrete strategies to put these new ways into practice.
Licensed Counselor (LCSW-C) located in downtown Easton, MD.
Some thoughts that are common for people struggling with...
Anxiety & Depression
"I am stretched thin and feel like I'm going to break."
"I can't focus on anything or concentrate."
"What's wrong with me? Why can't I just be happy? Why can't I be more like ____?"
"That person didn't text me back, so they are probably mad at me."
"I'm not lovable, worthy or important."
Relationship Issues
"I didn't know it would be this hard. I don't understand. We love each other."
"Why can't she/he/ze just.....?"
"What if I show them who I am, and they reject and leave me?"
"Can we overcome this? Maybe we aren't meant to be together."
"Even if I try to explain, I won't be heard. They just don't get me."
"It means something about me if my relationship doesn't last."
"I'll never be able to please my partner."
Trauma
"I should have known. If only I.... Why wasn't I more careful?"
"I can't stop thinking about the event- even while I'm asleep."
"I cannot trust people. If that person could hurt me, then others can too."
"The world is not safe....something bad is going to happen."
"If I just keep myself busy, it won't bother me. I can feel nothing."
"How come everyone else has gotten over it and I can't?"
You are not alone.
I can help.
"Katharine supported me through incredibly difficult life transitions with skill, compassion, and humor. Her ability to help me identify and address obstacles to growth while learning to accept myself in the process has made all the difference."
"I felt seen and understood which freed me to make changes in my life."
"There is something undeniable about Katharine’s warmth and empathy that makes me feel seen, understood and accepted. She is wise and shows genuine interest in forming a partnership by listening to me, meeting me where I am, and challenging me to grow while providing the support to experience success."
