Hello, my name is Katie and I have a decade of experience in severe mental illness, grief therapy, self-esteem, depression, anxiety and women's issues. I take a client-centered, empowerment approach. Together we will work on creating and sustaining your goals (not just in therapy but long after).

As a therapist I look forward to working with you on your goals. I let you take the lead, and gently guide you when needed. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!. I find satisfaction knowing that together we are helping you live a healthier, more mindful life. You are the only person you will always be with, and you should feel like your life is worth living.
