Hi, I'm Katie. If you're reading this, chances are you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or facing a major life crossroads in a relationship, family, or work.

You deserve a life you don’t need to escape from—a life where getting out of bed in the morning feels rewarding. I'm here to help you feel better about yourself, improve your relationships, and make meaningful changes. Together, we'll shift from surviving to thriving, gain clarity, improve motivation, and develop strategies to navigate life's challenges.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you or your teen having difficulty? Are they exhibiting behaviors that have been concerning you? Stress and sadness are feelings each one of us has experienced at one time or another. It's when these feelings begin to impact our lives, that we need to seek out assistance. When you or your teen are struggling, school/work, social life and relationships suffer. Routine tasks and activities feel exhausting. Unhealthy behaviors emerge as a way of coping with the pain. It's vital that you find someone with whom you feel comfortable talking.

I specialize in working with clients who have ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD. I collaborate in developing goals of treatment and help clients identify, understand and address both current struggles and the childhood roots of these struggles. This approach is especially helpful to clients who had difficult, invalidating or traumatic childhoods. I help clients: to be compassionate with themselves, to honor yet process difficult emotions, and to change behaviors. I work best with clients: who want self understanding, who appreciate a thoughtful, safe space, and, who are willing to do the work to make these changes happen.

Being a parent can be enormously fulfilling, but can also be frustrating and overwhelming. As the mother of two children, I know firsthand that sometimes our kids can make it difficult to be the parent we always imagined we'd be. I work with parents to help them relate better to their unique child/teen, reduce challenging behavior, and build their child/teen's skills in frustration tolerance, flexibility, and problem-solving. I offer a radically different understanding of challenging kids and an effective, positive approach to parenting. Let me give you practical, concrete tools that will bring out the best in you and your child.

I am a partner at Needham Psychotherapy Associates where I work primarily with couples. I work with couples who are stuck and feel that their relationship is slipping away. Loneliness is the most common - and most heartbreaking - complaint that I hear, and I frequently hear it from both partners even when there is a lot of anger. I work on repairing connection - not on who is right or wrong. I am trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) which is a focused, validated, time limited treatment strategy which helps couples heal the wounds that have hurt their connection

Maybe you are experiencing loss, loneliness, or anxiety, or you don't feel like 'yourself' anymore. I believe that empowerment and healing can come through self-connection, use of more adaptive tools and learning how to approach this sometimes overwhelming world in a way that feels more manageable. I show up for you authentically and drawing from my over twenty years of working with individuals of all ages. During our time together, I hope to provide a space for you to revive your joy, feel whole versus disjointed, and seek to create a balance between challenge and kindness for yourself.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have often had unsuccessful prior treatment experiences. They feel that my knowledge and holistic approach to treatment will provide them with a healthier pathway forward in their life. Although I have a depth of experience to share with my patients I value learning from them on a daily basis. To facilitate change I employ a range of focused DBT and CBT strategies that I also teach to younger clinicians who train with my practice. I have maintained a professional home for 30 years at Harvard Medical School where I serve as a Part-Time Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry.

I am passionate about working with adults (18+) that are struggling with painful life experiences. I provide a safe, accepting environment, using evidence-based modalities for change, and support my clients in the process of healing and becoming the best versions of themselves. My clients are resilient- however, having to be "strong" and in survival mode all the time is exhausting, and it's okay to let your guard down with me. I aim to support my clients in not only surviving, but thriving. My clients achieve a healthier relationship with themselves, others, and the world around them, and a greater sense of self-compassion.

Sometimes life throws us something that turns our whole world upside down. Other times life is “fine,” but we just don’t feel fine. We may be overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, depression, or just feeling stuck. If you are wondering whether now is the right time for therapy, the answer is probably “yes.” You start to feel different when you do things differently. Whether you are a teen, young adult, or adult, I can offer you a non-judgmental, creative space with fresh ideas and hope for the future.

Life challenges us in many ways, and sometimes we find ourselves struggling. We may lack energy, motivation, or direction, and find ourselves not enjoying life very much at all. Stressful events, over-thinking, and an unbalanced lifestyle can knock us out of our “window of tolerance” and decrease our resilience. If we don't take the time to slow down and attend to our bodies as well as our thoughts and emotions, life can become a rush of activity without meaning and can lead to anxiety, depression, and disconnection. Therapy is a powerful way to take that time for yourself.

As a therapist, my goal is to help clients navigate struggles in their lives and provide a space of safety and compassion as they work to overcome challenges. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and clients come to therapy with an inner wisdom. I intend to guide them to understand themselves and live more authentically. I work closely to individualize therapy so it fits the needs of the client. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults with a wide range of concerns, including eating disorders, trauma, relationships, and ADHD.
