About KATHERYN

Registered Play Therapist | EMDR-Certified Therapist | ADHD Assessment Provider

Katheryn believes that healing begins in a space where clients feel safe, supported, and truly seen—a “soft place to land” amid life’s challenges. She has dedicated her career to helping children, adolescents, and families navigate emotional, behavioral, and relational struggles with compassion, expertise, and a strengths-based approach.

With over 20 years of experience working with children and families, Katheryn specializes in Play Therapy, a powerful therapeutic approach that helps children express and process emotions when words fall short. As a Registered Play Therapist (RPT), she understands that children often communicate their struggles through actions rather than words. By fostering a nurturing and accepting environment, she helps young clients work through challenges such as anxiety, trauma, behavioral concerns, emotional dysregulation, and family transitions, while also guiding caregivers in supporting their child’s emotional well-being.

In addition to her expertise in Play Therapy, Katheryn is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), both highly effective modalities for treating trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences in clients of all ages. EMDR allows individuals to process and reframe painful memories in a way that reduces emotional distress and promotes resilience, making it especially beneficial for those recovering from past trauma, phobias, or deeply rooted fears.
