Sometimes our emotions are incredibly difficult to listen to. They are always speaking to us, like messengers trying to relay information, but often there are blockages that keep us from trusting our emotions, or knowing how to truly listen to them. We can quickly talk ourselves out of things that somewhere deep down, we KNOW to be true. I want to help you by providing an environment where all the complexities and parts of you are allowed to show up and have a voice at the table. I will provide a safe space for you to sort through your complex, layered and sometimes confusing emotion - to find your most authentic self.

Before therapy, most people have identified emotions and behaviors that they have tried to change. When these efforts are not successful, there are often blind spots or important ties to unresolved, and sometime unrecognized, issues from the past. I work collaboratively to define the problem, identify patterns and their sources, and then to uncover new options.
Since my former practice was in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA, I have worked extensively with students and young adults. Often I use family theory in working with an individuals to increase awareness of options within relationships and with his/her family.

I believe families, in every form, are the foundation of solid communities. How are things going at your house? Are you feeling supported as an individual, parent or partner? How are your kids doing? As a couples, family and play therapist, I can work with any subset of your family or the whole group. I have individual sessions for kids and teens from 3 on up. For kids aged 3-12, sessions are weekly with a monthly parent check in.
I also see individual adults and couples in person or on telehealth throughout the day, Monday-Thursday.

Seeking therapy is a courageous act—and you don't have to navigate it alone. I help folks heal from complex trauma and dissociative disorders. You might be feeling the impact of past trauma, relational harm, or systemic oppression. Perhaps it feels like you’re riding an emotional rollercoaster—moving between anxiety, depression, and being pulled in different directions by parts of yourself. Maybe there are days when you feel completely empty or disconnected, as if you’re just moving through life in a shell. You may struggle in relationships, unsure how to get close, how to trust, or how to enjoy loving and being loved.

Hope, possibility, insight, change; these are the gifts therapy can offer. Because anxiety, sadness and fear are part of what it means to be human, I feel it is essential to find meaning in our challenges. There is strength in understanding. I believe we all have the seeds of healing within us and my role in this process is to listen carefully and to provide feedback and support along the way. I respect your unique perspective and your gifts.

There is a lot of uncertainty in the world right now! Whether you’re experiencing unique personal challenges, feeling the stress of current events, or boot-strapping yourself into follow-through on personal goals, it may be time for individual therapy. The many challenges of life are easier to manage with proper tools and support. Additionally, we all need a safe place to explore what’s holding us back from where we want to be and from the life we want to experience. I am motivated to provide that safe space to promote healing and growth, and to approach your story with curiosity and compassion.

I approach therapy from an empathic relational orientation using a feminist, diversity-informed lens. My style is warm & non-judgmental. I believe the client is the expert their life & value being collaborative, transparent & authentic with clients. I don’t offer advice or quick fixes, but I see it as an honor to sit with clients in their vulnerability and help them make meaning. I see the role systems of oppression play particularly in the lives of those with marginalized identities & stand for reproductive freedom, racial justice and the rights of trans and non-binary people. These values are woven into my work as a psychologist.

My main priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and inviting space to explore whatever it is that brought you to therapy. Your life, relationships, and experiences make you unique and it is my privilege to be able to walk alongside you in your journey. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, so I will meet you wherever you are at in your process of self-awareness and growth. My approach emphasizes authenticity, curiosity, humor, collaboration, and self-compassion to help you explore your questions. We all need reminders that our needs are just as important as others, and it is my goal to support you in that practice.

My passion lies in working with both youth and adults alike and believe that counseling offers an opportunity to reflect on the current challenges that you may be experiencing in life, and working together with you on moving forward. In particular I have a heart and passion for working with youth and young adults of color. I believe that racial identity is linked to every aspect of daily lives for people of color and often leads to ongoing symptoms of stress and anxiety. I love working with individuals of all races and ethnicities, including folks who identify as children of immigrants.

Therapy that works engages on your terms and not from an exclusively clinical perspective. After 20 years being a doctor, the folk that find me have struggled with a mood problem like depression or anxiety—as well personality disorders— and then treated as the diagnosis. Because the lingo of psychology has muscled into our everyday talk, its disrupted a person’s ability to describe their own experience in their own words and a kind of fracture occurs between themselves and their actual experiences. I look to alleviate the pain and dismay that comes from the fractures that mess with the life you want.

My experience is heavily rooted in Forensic Mental Health. I've spent a total of 8 years working between the court and jail. The last 5 years were spent in King County Correctional Facility as a Psychiatric Evaluation Specialist. I was the primary clinician responsible for the treatment of the incarcerated women on the psych unit. I did a significant amount of work with our suicidal unit and was responsible for conducting the 4 hour suicide trainings assigned to all new staff and officers in the jail. I value the complexity of the human experience and strive to provide a safe non judgmental space for clients to heal.

Working with clients has been both a personal and professional honor and privilege. Life is a journey filled with desired or undesired opportunities for growth. My approach is deeply rooted in connection while we work together to navigate all of life's moments. I like to use techniques and interventions from Family Systems and Solution Focused Therapy. In sessions we will explore how family systems, previous or current, can impact life experiences while working to identify relevant solutions and highlight your personal strengths and capabilities.

I began my career working at a bank on Wall Street and spent over a decade in corporate finance and strategy — I understand work stress and managing how we are perceived by others. I know it can be hard to find a sense of purpose and direction in life. I strive to help you embrace challenges as part of life, approach yourself without judgement, and uncover the values necessary to chart a path forward.

Hello, I’m Katie, a trauma-informed therapist based in Seattle. I work well with people seeking peace with food & trust in their bodies, confidence & self-compassion over anxiety & shame, and contentedness & rest over burnout/ performance-driven lives. I have a soft spot for folks from the South or other regions shifting into new ways of being here in the PNW, queer folks, and anyone navigating big life transitions. I'm mindful of systemic oppression & work best with others who also see life through that lens. I offer online sessions throughout WA and limited outdoor/ walking sessions locally.

Life is about connection with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. Unfortunately, not all of us were raised in ways that makes it easy to make those connections, leaving us feeling distant, numb, anxious, confused, or frustrated. Therapy provides the space for you to say what you really think and feel, in confidence, and without the fear of judgment. It’s the holding of this space, and the development of different life-skills that allows us to build the connections you're looking for in your life.
