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.
