I have extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, and families facing challenges including depression and anxiety, major life transitions, relationship conflict, family-of-origin issues, setting and achieving life goals, parenting, and more.

Immediate virtual openings Tues/Wed daytime as of 4/22/24. Hi, I'm Katie! Do you struggle with high stress or feeling down, but not sure how to feel better? Does it ever feel like it's getting worse as time goes on, which then increases your sense of hopelessness? It may feel like a vicious cycle. I can help you figure out the triggers, set goals and maintain them. I use evidenced-based techniques known as "CBT," or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (using the way you think to improve mood or stress) and distress tolerance skills so that you build that resiliency muscle- just like an athletic trainer would in a gym.
