I utilize an integrative, trauma-informed approach, informed by mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, and narrative therapy.
Hi! My name is Katie (she/her), and I work with adults, adolescents and children through a trauma-informed and affirmative lens on concerns such as anxiety, depression, developmental and acute trauma, PTSD, relationship concerns, identity exploration, attachment wounds, and grief. I have experience and am passionate about working with members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. I welcome and work with clients of all backgrounds and am committed to acknowledging both the privileges I carry with me into the therapeutic space and the systemic issues and oppression that contribute to mental health struggles.

Other issues that clients frequently discuss in session include: life transitions, grief and loss, work stress, relationship and family conflict, low self-worth, intimacy issues, and exploration of sexuality or gender identity.
Do you spend time thinking about the past or constantly worried about the future? Do you seek to know yourself better? I help people change the habits and behaviors that are not serving them, so they can lead more peaceful and balanced lives here in the present moment. We will work together to understand how your past informs who you are now, but does not define it. I help clients identify their negative thinking patterns that have kept them stuck in their lives. Together we will generate new, rational alternatives that will help you gain perspective about the life you want to be living.

I have advanced training in Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
I am trained to target emotional experiences to activate internal healing and external connection. I assist couples by facilitating an environment that safely moves folks towards security in self and towards one another in vulnerability so that bonding can replace the need for self-preservation. With individuals, I welcome all parts of each person as one establishes security in and expansion of self which helps parts of self recognize: "parts cope, self heals." I view people as "stuck" and not "sick," and therefore I believe just as there is a healer in me, there is a healer in you.

Many of the children and adolescents I work with are struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, anger issues, family relationships, low self-esteem, peer/friendships issues, body images concerns, and challenges related to disruptive behavior and inattention.
Each day it seems that life presents a new challenge, often causing us to question certain decisions that we have made or to consider new paths that we would like to explore. My goal is to gain a clear picture of each individual's needs, explore new and more effective ways of problem solving, and help each individual develop greater insight and growth. I believe the relational component of therapy is essential and serves at the foundation for establishing trust, compassion, empathy, and respect. I have expertise in working with individuals of all ages: children, adolescents, adults and families.

I believe a fine tuned awareness of oneself and a well regulated body are essential to overall well-being. I support you in understanding your problems in new ways and clarifying novel, practical options you can take to increase satisfaction and reduce distress. I work to assist you in clarifying your personal needs, mapping repetitive patterns and noticing what interferes with feeling fulfilled or settled. Action toward change is complicated and usually feels risky. I am here to help you understand yourself better and work through patterns that keep you stuck. Usually these patterns feel “second nature” and difficult to change.
