I have provided individual, couples, and family therapy to adults and adolescents for over 18 years. I have experience working with individuals and families from varied ethnic/cultural/sexual orientation backgrounds. My therapeutic orientation includes cognitive behavioral, strengths-based and person-centered approaches. I am a strong believer in "one size does not fit all" and adapt my approach based on client's needs and belief systems. I am supportive but can be directive when the clinical need arises. Currently, I only see clients on Wednesdays. I conduct therapy in Spanish as well.

In my work with adults and couples, I help clients take steps towards being more authentic, managing stress, and improving their relationships. I am passionate about working with people experiencing life transitions, high stress, sadness, relationship and parenting challenges, people who have experienced trauma or loss, and who are experiencing general dissatisfaction with one or more aspects of their current lives.

Katie offers a compassionate, open ear and works as a creative collaborator with her clients. She teaches her clients skills that can help them develop a sense of mastery and live more authentic, meaningful lives. She views therapy like gardening, working with clients to plant seeds in-session that they then nurture and grow together over time.

Life can sometimes feel too difficult to navigate alone, and having a supportive and safe outlet can make all the difference. Relationship struggles, life purpose, grief and loss, identity issues, family dynamics, chronic illness, and other stressors can be overwhelming, but with counseling, they can be transformative. I am passionate about working with anyone experiencing emotional hardships and understand how effective therapy can help. I welcome all orientations and walks of life experiencing mental health concerns. I bring 25 years of experience in the medical field to counseling and value the power of the mind-body connection.

Therapy is a wonderful process that can truly change how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how you experience life. Though it can be hard to see when you're in the midst of a difficult time, challenges present tremendous opportunities for growth. My goal is to help my clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and to provide them with concrete tools so that they may enjoy work, play and healthy relationships with others.

Many people think that therapy is simply a place to vent about life’s problems. Or that only people with “problems” need therapy. This is not the case! Therapy is where you go to meet with someone who is trained and skilled in providing resources that help you navigate life’s challenges. Everyone can benefit from that type of support! To the person struggling with anxiety, imagine feeling so confident in yourself that everything in your life reflects that. To the person struggling with a traumatic past, imagine becoming so healed that you can handle whatever else life throws at you. If you want to work towards healing, contact me.

Because we cannot clearly see our mental health it is easy to overlook. Coming to the conclusion to seek counseling can be scary, but it is also a very important decision. The only person who can make meaningful long-lasting changes in your life is you and seeking guidance to make those changes is a big first step. Some changes happen quickly while others may take a while, but with all change it can be beneficial to have someone on the outside for support. Mental health looks different for everyone and therefore should be treated uniquely for each individual.

For over 30 years, I have accompanied others on their journey towards greater self-awareness, more fulfilling relationships, and exploring the needs and challenges of maintaining sound emotional, physical and spiritual health. My experience is particularly helpful when working on self-esteem issues, depression, grief and loss, relationship struggles, and faith and spiritual development. My clinical work draws upon skills developed while working as a hospital chaplain, pastoral counselor, bereavement counselor, youth counselor and a mental health therapist in a social service agency.

Change is never easy,but with the assistance of a therapist, you can start to learn skills to move towards your goals. Some of these skills include effective communication, mindfulness, relaxation, and changing negative thought patterns. In my work with couples, I focus on teaching communication skills and understanding underlying issues that effect the relationship.

As a clinician, I believe that therapy should be a mutual process in which the client and therapist work together to address the concerns and needs of each unique individual client. I believe each person has a unique capacity for growth and drive for self-actualization. When done with empathy and acceptance for an individual, therapy can be a process by which the client achieves their perception of change, growth, and healing.

We all work hard to take care of ourselves and build positive relationships, but sometimes obstacles get in our way. For more than 20 years, I have worked with people to identify and remove those obstacles, so that they can lead fuller and more joyful lives. You may be derailed by the loss of a job or relationship; feel depressed and not know why, or struggle as a parent. I work with individuals, couples and families to pinpoint your concerns and work toward change. My emphasis is on building honest, open relationships and on using insight to fuel change.

I am a clinician who aims to help clients work THROUGH their trauma as opposed to enforcing the idea that trauma is something to “get over.” Healing is not always linear. During my tenure in the field, I have enjoyed facilitating didactic process groups and providing individual therapy for adults, adolescents, and families. My clinical strength is treating disorders such as PTSD, eating disorders, substance abuse, depression/anxiety, borderline personality disorder and mood disorders. Additionally, I have an extensive background in expressive therapy, DBT, and psychodynamic theory.

Being a human in the world is tough. If you feel stuck, alone, overwhelmed by anxiety or sadness, or are struggling in relationships, you're in the right place. My specialties include the treatment of anxiety, relationship difficulties, perinatal and postpartum mood disorders, parenting, infertility, divorce, trauma, and identity development. As a mom myself, I have experienced first-hand the impossible demands placed on parents. I am passionate about providing identity affirming care to members of the LGTBQIA+ community, and I love working with parents of gender-expansive children as they navigate their transition process.
