About Me
Hi! I'm Kat.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor offering online therapy for teens, young adults, and adults across Pennsylvania and Florida.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Rosemont College in 2018, and since 2023, I’ve been in private practice after several years working in both group practice and community mental health settings.
My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t linear. Before this work, I spent years teaching yoga and working as an editor across a range of spaces — publishing companies, medical journals, blogs, and even cookbooks, which was especially fun. My love of language continues to shape the way I connect with people.
I’ve also studied through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which deepened my understanding of how lifestyle, nourishment, and daily rhythms impact mental and emotional well-being. That perspective continues to inform the way I think about therapy — as something that supports the whole person, not just symptoms. I often incorporate insights around the connection between mental health, stress, sleep, and daily habits as part of our work together.
I care deeply about language, meaning, and helping people find words for experiences that can feel hard to name. These days, I feel grateful to spend my time in meaningful conversations — whether we’re meeting online or sitting together in shared space.
My Approach
I offer therapy that is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real life.
My work integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and practical tools to help you navigate anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. I’m not here to analyze you from a distance — we’ll work together to understand what’s going on, build skills that actually help, and make sense of your experience in a way that feels useful and human.
I take a whole-person approach, paying attention not just to your thoughts, but also to your emotional and physical experience. Often, slowing down and tuning in can open up new clarity and possibility.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. Therapy can be a place to explore, question, and reconnect with yourself at your own pace.
Areas of Focus
I work with people navigating:
Anxiety and overthinking
Depression and feeling stuck
Emotional intensity and difficulty regulating emotions
Life transitions and uncertainty
Identity exploration, including gender-related questions
I’m also connected to Therapy First, a network of clinicians focused on a thoughtful, whole-person approach to care for individuals exploring gender-related concerns.
A Bit More About Me
Outside of therapy, I continue to teach chair yoga and value practices that help people feel more grounded and connected to themselves. I’m drawn to simple, everyday ways of slowing down — whether that’s through movement, slowing down, or just remembering to exhale sometimes.
I’m based in Philadelphia, where I live with my wife and our dog, Buster, who keeps life playful and unpredictable in the best way.
I also have a longstanding (and slightly unhinged, in a very specific and curated way) appreciation for Blythe dolls. They’re strange, expressive, and a little nostalgic — which feels oddly aligned with how I think about being human.
At the core of my work is a belief that suffering isn’t something to eliminate, but something we learn to carry differently as we build a life worth living.
