Hello! My name is Katie, and I am licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I identify as neurodivergent (ADHD with Autistic traits), and in particular, I love helping neurodivergent clients learn how to better manage their anxieties and mood difficulties in order to improve their quality of life. Professionally, my passion for the Autistic community started when I was in college. I volunteered two years in a row for a camp for Autistic kids and teens and was amazed at how well I connected with the kids and how rewarding the work was.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist providing individual psychotherapy for adults (18+) with a wide variety of difficulties and concerns.

Deeper insight into one's relational patterns and how the past influences the present tends to grow clients beyond areas in their lives where they feel stuck or behind so they can move towards their goals.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
