Hello! I'm Katie and I'm a DBT Therapist.

My speciality is serving clients with reproductive related mental health issues. I specialize in treating women experiencing perinatal mental health disorders like postpartum depression and anxiety. I treat women experiencing grief after pregnancy loss or reproductive surgical procedures.

I help clients who are feeling overwhelmed, stressed or depleted to make sense of their struggles and create an actionable, accessible plan for change. My approach combines tactical skill building with broader insight, helping you to develop more clearly defined personal goals and boundaries, and an increased sense of personal agency and self acceptance. I strive for clients to feel seen, heard and supported as we build towards a greater sense of wellbeing, balance and more satisfying relationships.

I work with adults (18+) who have difficulty managing their emotions and who struggle with depression, anxiety, interpersonal problems, and problems functioning at work or school.

I also see clients with Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders through all stages of the pregnancy and parenthood process.

Rebecca has expertise working with clients in life transitions. Rebecca enjoys working with people to help them connect with their inherent goodness. From her perspective this happens during moments of feeling deeply heard, understood and known.

Let's face it; life can be stressful. Are you feeling overwhelmed with family or work? Taking on more responsibilities than you're capable of managing? Are you caught in the middle of caring for your aging parents while raising your own children and feeling crushed by the pressure? Tired of yelling or simply being frustrated with those you love the most?

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you often wonder if life can feel better in some way? That you could be more content? We know life can throw complex challenges our way that can change the way we view the world, our relationships and, at times, ourselves. Not taking time for yourself, and pushing away your own needs, can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe these experiences can be transformed to serve as sources of empowerment and growth.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for clients who feel burdened with hard feelings. You may be navigating a period of anxiety or depression, struggling with a difficult phase of life, or are unsure how to move beyond past experiences. We will create a collaborative partnership where we can work through these questions together, empowering you to find a path back to joy and calm in your life. I work with college students, adults, am Gottman-trained in couples work, and have particular expertise with clients experiencing infertility, adjusting to parenthood or navigating the joys and challenges of older kids.

I have over 17 years of experience providing counseling, group work and case management services to children, adults, and families in a variety of community settings.

I am licensed in the following states: Colorado, District of Columbia, Maryland, New York, and Virginia. Please visit my website for more information: brighter-perspective.com

I am committed to providing a safe space in an effort to encourage you to bring all of yourself to therapy. I am supportive and direct. I will advocate for you and challenge you to be curious about your own lens. Therapy is hard work; humor is central to this process. We can all benefit from being more playful and taking ourselves less seriously. I integrate several orientations, including psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices—depending on your needs. I will meet you on your own terms and we will make sense together.

Everyone needs support during difficult times in their lives, whether they are dealing with relationship issues, stress at home or work, or feelings of depression and anxiety with or without a clear cause. It is during times like these that therapy can help. Through our work together I will provide a safe space for painful memories and emotions to be explored and work with you to gain a deeper understanding of how these experiences continue to shape you today. Together we will work to help you develop new coping skills and bring an enhanced level of self-awareness to your life.
