I work with anyone who is experiencing a wide range of social and emotional difficulties including sadness, anxiety, phobias, family and life transitions and friendships. I provide individual therapy, family therapy and parent coaching in a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment in order to address individual needs and concerns. In addition, I provide support and guidance in promoting additional understanding of family dynamics and facilitating a better channel of communication between family members. I enjoy working collaboratively with families to find unique ways to help their children or themselves to progress and heal.

Breathe . . . . Life is so stressful. So many meetings, demands, interruptions, and lack of motivation make you irritable, edgy and exhausted. Your patience is long gone.

Virtual openings beginning in September. Hi, I'm Katie! Do you struggle with high stress or feeling down, but not sure how to feel better? Daily challenges, emotional burdens, and past experiences can leave you feeling drained and stuck in a rut. I specialize in helping women who want to exit the vicious cycle & feel themselves again. I can help you identify triggers, set goals and maintain them. I use 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.

Therapy can give you a safe place and the courage to share and reveal your story; to go there, not alone, but with someone who can help you understand what is happening. With expanded knowledge of yourself, you have the strength to act on intentional and personally meaningful choices.
I am a catalyst for your understanding of yourself, alone and in relation to those important to you.

What is it for you...Is it the lack of motivation? The over-thinking? The never feeling good enough or need to be perfect? The “I don’t know who I am?” The loss of identity? The failed or lack of relationship/s? The hopelessness? The unexplained sadness? The lack of support? School Stress? Well sometimes growing up or even life can be very overwhelming and the desperation to feel better as you navigate through can leave you feeling stuck and lost on your next decision/move.
