Outside of the therapy room, Katherine loves to fill life with creativity and joy. She can often be found experimenting in the kitchen with new baking recipes or winding down with arts and crafts projects that let her playful side shine. Music is another big part of her world—whether she’s singing, enjoying a night of karaoke, or dancing just for fun. She also cherishes quiet moments with a good book, getting lost in new stories and ideas. These hobbies bring balance, laughter, and inspiration to her life, and she enjoys sharing that same spirit of curiosity and creativity with her clients.

Katherine is fluent in English and Spanish.
