Katherine (she/her/hers) is a Master’s of Clinical Social Work (MSW) student intern residing in Massachusetts. She is in her final year of her part-time degree program at Boston University and has interned previously both in outpatient as well as in-home settings. Today, she predominantly works with adults, couples, and enjoys working with the LGBTQIA+ community. She has worked with a diverse array of clients across lines of identity and ability. Katherine’s clinical background includes supporting individuals experiencing challenges with stress, adjustments to change, interpersonal relationships, depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use, developmental and neurological differences, and searching for meaning in life. She also aids couples in cultivating effective conflict navigation, communication skills, commitment, and trust. Katherine acknowledges the many ways our larger society and the systems we live in exacerbate mental health hardships. Given the high pressure, hurried, achievement-driven dominant culture many of us contend with, she knows it can feel impossible to find your way without help. Katherine is passionate about empowering her clients to give voice to their internal experiences, find stability in present moment mind-body awareness, define their own life’s values, and live them out in meaningfully human ways. To inform her work, she uses a range of theoretical frameworks such as ACT, CBT, DBT, MI, and the Gottman Method (couples). In her free time, Katherine enjoys being outside, engaging in almost any artistic expression, and connecting with her community.
