I offer clinical expertise in intensive, focused work with couple relationships, to include restoring emotional safety in the relationship, healing damage from affairs, and other betrayals, rebuilding core friendships, and teaching specific tools to manage conflict.
Is your relationship what you want it to be? Whether you want to strengthen your connection, or you're worn out from frequent fighting, hurt by broken trust, or considering separation or divorce, the wisest first step you can take is to get the right help. As a couples therapy specialist, I help partners gain clarity about themselves, re-establish trust, improve interaction, teach them how to manage conflict, heal from hurt and betrayal, and rebuild connection, friendship and intimacy. Many couples give up too soon, without getting help. But where there is a flicker of love, there is hope!

Depression, anxiety, trauma, and even relationship struggles hold the capacity to prevent us from living the life we want.
I offer clients a collaborative approach to address whatever may have brought them to my door. My relationally focused psychodynamic style supports the idea that healing occurs through our connection with others. By providing a safe and solid therapeutic relationship to a person, that person begins to experience a greater range of perspective regarding their own life and the lives around them. With increased self-awareness, individuals are able to recognize that they have more choices in their lives. I have found this to be true regardless of what obstacles a person may be facing.

Wherever you may be, I would love to connect to see if we may be a good fit to partner in forging a new path.
Hi there. I’m Katelyn, an addiction specialist and mental health counselor. I offer space for you to process the ways that substance use and misuse–whether by you or a loved one–might hinder you from living a flourishing life. People I meet with are typically seeking to break long term addictions, achieve a healthier lifestyle, and/or seeking help around a complex relationship with someone who is abusing substances. Others are in sobriety and may be seeking support or to process past trauma that led to their initial misuse. Some are seeking to use substances in moderation and others are seeking a sober lifestyle.

I love to help leaders grow; teams function well; couples develop their relationships; anyone develop new dreams, deal with loss and grief, or learn to celebrate successes.
Are you going through a transition in your career, relationships, family? You're a leader, but feel uncertain. Perhaps you don't like your job, but are afraid to rock the boat. Are you retiring and don't know what's next? Maybe you are leaving, starting, or struggling in a relationship and want to do it "right" this time. All Transitions have stages we need to address. Our past experiences create our lenses of fear or excitement about the future. Knowing your old patterns will help you to create the life YOU want now. We can work 1-1, with a partner, a team or a family to see the old patterns and create new, successful ones.

If you are in a relationship, couples therapy can help to access underlying emotions and rekindle attachment needs.
I believe that we have all of the tools in us already to make the change we desire. Therapy can serve to identify and access those qualities, offering a place to create a safe relationship and to explore and strengthen ones' sense of self, and to work through challenges. Do you have trouble liking yourself? Do you struggle with low confidence, anxiety or other intense emotions, such as shame or guilt? In my relational approach to treatment, I strive to find a balance, reduce suffering, and work toward the change the individual desires.

Of particular interest are, cultural, family and systemic concerns, those suffering with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship crisis, changes in life, anger management, crossroads in one's faith and clergy in crisis.

I seek to help others in the curing of their souls through psychotherapy. I make every effort to provide a therapeutic environment that is non-judgmental, supportive, safe, nurturing and empathic. Making the decision to come to counseling can be difficult and overwhelming. It's a privilege for me to be present with you in this process. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email or call.

I work with individuals, couples and families providing child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy.
Good psychotherapy requires a "match" between client(s) and therapist and avoids "stretching the client to fit the couch." Finding the right psychotherapist involves both clinical skill and personality match. A good therapist is genuine, warm, and offers a human relationship with active listening, guidance, and good advice. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, what I offer as a clinician is an active style of psychotherapy with a high regard for where you are in your journey, what your goals are, and what things can be pointed out and changed along the path to growth and improved relationships.

I commend you for caring deeply enough about your relationship that you are willing to seek therapy.
Your relationship doesn’t work the way you’d like it to. You and your partner keep getting caught in the same repetitive patterns that make good communication and warm, secure connection all but impossible. Neither of you want the relationship to function like this, and yet, try as you might, you have been unable to change it. It's not about working harder but working differently. I can help.
