Accepting Clients for telehealth! My name is Katie, and I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and religious trauma.

The clients I work alongside of often seek reflection and changes in their life. This can sometimes be scary, painful, intimidating and occasionally leading to leave things as they are.

I deeply enjoy helping my clients find those special pieces of fulfillment together. With time and intention, these later become the foundation for healing, change, and deeper reflection.
