Making a change takes an act of courage. Congratulations on deciding that you want something different. Whether it's difference in your relationship(s), in the way that you engage with yourself, or in your behaviors, thoughts, or emotions, I am excited to work with you as you move forward with the change that you want. I have committed to keeping up with evidence-based practice and constantly growing in multicultural humility to ensure that you can feel supported and valued and also can achieve the needed change to be your best self.

Life is hard, even when it's going well. And then there are the times that it isn't going well, and we need to expand our network of care. Therapy is a helpful process in both times of life. I work to connect with you, follow your needs, support you in the growth and transformation you crave, and help you through the discomfort that change can bring. I believe in the closeness of dualities, such as trauma and resilience, crying and laughing, masculine and feminine, and seeking ways to get these dualities into a closer and more symbiotic relationship with one another.

Feeling Stuck? Unmotivated? Feeling Depressed? Anxious? I help clients re-focus quickly and find ways to gain awareness, improve outlook, and enhance healing so they can get on with their lives in the best, most constructive and positive way. I specialize in helping people solve problems and build new skills. I am interested in helping you get better and stay better, not just feel better temporarily. Discover tools you can implement once you leave our session. Together we can find your internal resources for change and growth.

Katie’s clinical practice and experience focuses on trauma, betrayal, and addictive disorders along with other mental health disorders. She also specializes in inner child work focusing on how the inner child holds the key to intimacy, recovery from addiction, physical and emotional well-being, and the creativity and wisdom of our inner selves; our true selves. In addition to private practice, Katie has prior experience working in clinical roles in education at high school and university settings.

Virtual only. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and supporting parents as they navigate their child's journey. I am a compassionate presence showing up with my authentic self to hold space for my clients. I am proud to have engaged in my healing work with my therapist. I have sat in both positions which gives me a fuller perspective to work with my clients. My goal is to empower, encourage, and support you in your journey and create a safe and supportive environment that respects your mind, body, and spirit healing process.

Finding a therapist you feel "gets it" and that you feel safe to share your deepest vulnerabilities with is incredibly important. As an LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming therapist, I strive to provide an inclusive, warm, and non judgmental space where I will work with you to help you process your feelings, heal from trauma, shift unhelpful patterns, develop meaningful relationships, and explore your authentic self. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you’ll reach out to see how I can help.
