THERAPIST

It’s hard to grow up; to parent; to navigate relationships, conflicts, and dreams; to experience grief and loss. At every moment, support is key. That is Katherine’s focus: helping individuals move forward through life’s different challenges and transitions.

Katherine specializes in children, teens, young adults, couples, mothers, and families. In addition to school-based mental health services, she has served in counseling roles for more than 25 years. Katherine works to connect with people where they are and provide a safe, caring space in which they are heard, appreciated, and understood. She especially enjoys seeing each person develop and advocate for their authentic self, find acceptance yet be unafraid of change, and realize their ideas, hopes, and needs.

As a second generation Chinese/Taiwanese-American, Katherine grew up in rural New Jersey. She now loves hiking the Bay Area’s open space preserves, watching the fog roll in, and indulging in foodie delights. She is an avid geocacher, reader, and boardgamer, and she cherishes spending time with her two adult daughters and one adolescent son.
