Hi! I'm Katy, a licensed psychologist. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is there a difficult relationship in your life? Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or stress? Do you feel stuck in relationship cycles or unhelpful patterns? Do you want to find more fulfillment and happiness in your life? I would like to help. My clients are curious about their emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships and they're looking for help to move toward more happiness. You don't have to figure it all out alone. If you are looking for a safe space for collaborative exploration, healing, and problem-solving, I can offer help.
My approach is interpersonal, person-centered, and multiculturally-oriented, with a healthy dash of humor! I place importance on understanding your unique cultural identity in therapy, as well as your life experiences and goals. I aim to help you explore and grow in a relational and affirming space so that you can move toward more of what you want in life.
Searching for a therapist is tough, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed. I'm glad you're looking for support here; it means you're already moving toward change. If you want to find relief from overwhelming stress, fear, resentment, anger, sadness, numbness, loneliness, or other concerns, please reach out for a free consultation.
Call or Katy Shaffer now for a free 15 minute consultation - (443) 998-8668
