Katherine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Katherine is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who received her Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rollins College. Her lifelong dream has been a career in Counseling, as she is a daughter of a Counselor. She also has a dream of giving back to her community as an Orlando native.
Katherine’s main passion of the practice is its ability to instill hope. She understands how life’s challenges can leave us in despair and wounded. She also has an understanding of the power of healing and change. In her work she aims to show Clients that their flaws and scars are what make them who they are and what makes them beautiful and powerful. Katherine works to empower Clients toward healing and ultimately living a happy and healthy life.
She approaches counseling through a non-judgmental lens to establish safety and trust. She aims to create a space that feels comfortable for every Client to be themselves. Katherine believes that Counseling is most productive if the Client feels able to be authentic. In session she focuses on the individual and their story, not just the presenting symptoms or problems. She has discovered that honoring the individual and their life story can allow for them to discover their power in the process to change and live the life they desire.
Katherine’s specialties include anxiety disorders, stress, life-transitions, women’s issues, relationship concerns, and interpersonal issues. She understands that the human condition and the innate need to survive can lead us into developing unhealthy habits or coping that may add to our distress. She believes that we can unlearn these habits and develop healthier ones.
Other than her passion for the practice of Counseling she enjoys the beaches of Sarasota. She identifies the beach as her happy place. In particular, Long Boat Key beach in Sarasota, Fl where she and her family visit every year. She has a heart for traveling and exploring other cultures. She loves to hike and spend time outdoors. Her most current hobby is meditation.

What Her Clients Are Saying
Katie, (Therapist)
Katherine helped me during a time when I was wanting to make some major changes in my life. She gave me tools to emotionally support myself to have the strength to make those changes. She also helped me to clarify my communication in a way that encouraged a more honest and authentic relationship. I definitely would recommend working with her.

Katie, (Therapist)
Katherine helped me explore my previous traumas and find the root of the things that were causing me anxieties at my current stage in life. She gave me a safe space to open up and explore feelings I never got to express, and really helped me to ground myself in my own self confidence. It is truly because of her guidance along the way that I feel like I can set boundaries and have confidence in myself moving forward. I've been to counselors before and it always felt clinical. Katherine made it feel like you were talking to a friend who truly understood you. She made me feel safe and respected and valued as an individual. I could not recommend her enough for anyone going through Seasons Counseling.

Katie, (Therapist)
"Katherine helped me understand things about myself that I would have never been able to achieve unaided. She helped me learn meditation and emotional intelligence, which are crucial in my fight against anxiety. Her knowledge and experience shine through in every aspect of our sessions. I undertook one year of therapy with Katherine and this, I believe, has changed my life forever. Katherine was professional, eloquent, and non-judgmental. I sought treatment primarily to help tackle the anxiety that has been with me my entire life."
