My aim in therapy is to identify what is most important to you, and help you live in a way that is more consistent with what you find meaningful, what gives you a sense of purpose, and what helps you feel content. To accomplish this, I approach therapy from a person-centered perspective, which means that I believe in working together to promote positive behaviors, emotions, and attitudes that best suit your values and holistic wellbeing. As a therapist, I recognize my own imperfection, and I will incorporate feedback from you along our therapy journey to explore alternative perspectives and adjust treatment as necessary.

As a queer and trans identified therapist, I personally understand how painful it can be to go to someone for support and be met with microaggressions, rejection, or outright hostility because of your marginalized identity. Therapy can be a transformative tool of self-discovery and a place to collaboratively develop a roadmap to a life filled with deep meaning and joy. But if your therapist does not understand or accept crucial parts of who you are, it can be deeply damaging and disheartening. If you have had experiences like these, I may be a good fit to provide you with the culturally competent therapy you deserve.

I provide person-centered therapy, meaning that I aim to put myself in your shoes non-judgmentally. This doesn’t mean that I am going to be a passive, blank face on a screen.

Most of my experience has been supporting folks with anxiety, depression, and/or post-traumatic stress, along with folks who use drugs.

I strive to create a non-judgmental atmosphere where you can become the best version of yourself. My approach to therapy is eclectic.

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.

We all have the capacity for growth and change, and the pain we carry usually develops from unhelpful stories that we've learned to tell ourselves over time. These stories - which we often learn through the systems we operate within - can impact the way we move, respond and connect, and can sometimes keep us stuck. I think we can grow by understanding how our stories started, by noticing the powerful information that our bodies give us about our emotional pain, and by working to unravel and re-craft our stories in a way that leaves us feeling more empowered, flexible, and whole.

I see clients as capable individuals taking charge of their life, goals, and growth.

I believe in working collaboratively with clients drawing from various therapeutic techniques depending on what suits and benefits each individual client’s needs and wants.

My ideal client may be struggling with ADHD, emerging adulthood, identity, life transitions and career concerns that have kept them stuck. They may have anxiety and/or depression which negatively impacts the relationship with themselves and others but are wanting to feel more empowered in life. I support individuals seeking to improve and deepen the quality of the relationship to self and others.

As you encounter life and its many hurdles, you can be presented with challenging situations, transitions in life, and unforeseen circumstances. If you are struggling with the weight of anxiety, depression, burnout, or traumatic memories, it can be helpful to have the space and a person at your side to walk with you in navigating these challenges. Some of my specific clinical interests include processing and healing from religious-based trauma and coming out as LGBTQIA. I am licensed in both Maryland and the District of Columbia.

I provide gender-affirming, empathetic, strengths-based, person-centered counseling for anyone looking to align their lived experience more closely with their values and identities.
