About Katherine
I am a registered social worker and psychotherapist living and working in Toronto. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ2SIA+ affirming. I welcome couples and individuals of diverse backgrounds and identities and have a particular interest in working with cross-cultural relationships. I bring personal and professional experience to my work with cross-cultural and LGBTQ2SIA+ relationships and strive to provide a space that is open, empathic and non-judgmental.

How relationship counselling works
- 
      
        
          
        
      
      Some of the reasons you might start relationship counselling: - You might be feeling stuck in the same patterns and cycles of conflict 
- You might be looking for some support around sex and intimacy 
- There might be a big life transition that you're looking for support with 
- You might be hoping to improve your relationship

      - Research in emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) has shown that counselling is effective and improves relationships in 8 to 20 sessions. 
- The length of therapy depends on your goals and needs. Throughout therapy this is something that we will have ongoing conversations about and we will determine a length that feels best for you.
