Are you seeking treatment to enrich your life? Are you willing to explore your past, present, and future to gain insight into your illnesses? Are you willing to do the work with me guiding you?

I specialize in substance use disorders, mood disorders, stress management, trauma, and PTSD. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for change and are open to exploring strategies to help them improve their mental health and quality of life. I appreciate individuals engaged in the therapeutic process and sharing their thoughts and feelings openly, allowing for a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), I seek to help my clients move through their feelings and circumstances in order to heal and grow. As an active listener, I allow my clients to process their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment. I apply an integrative, individual approach that will best fit each client.

Your life story is full of successes and struggles, pain and joy, and we can work together to create a life that has meaning and that you’re proud of. I have worked with clients ranging from them doing well in life but still having issues they want to improve to clients who felt they've hit rock bottom, have lost everything, feel hopeless and I helped them rebuild their life.

Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy, and person-centered therapy, my goal is to help clients make meaningful changes in their lives. I am a diligent and motivated counselor dedicated to helping each client succeed. While the therapeutic process can be complicated, I have the empathy, active listening skills, and adaptability required to understand and work with each client's individual needs. I apply a collaborative approach that we can tailor to each individual in order to find the best fit.

It can be difficult to know if we are making the choices to live the life that we want for ourselves. Many people are questioning themselves and how they fit in the world. There's a point when we need to take inventory and review ourselves and our goals. Therapy can be a great tool to evaluate, recalculate and develop plans to reach your goals and the life that you want for yourself. I believe in meeting you where you are and starting your journey from there. I see my role as utilizing my experience and knowledge to help empower you as you make your way from where you are to where you want to be.

Are you struggling to feel heard and validated? Are you having difficulty managing your emotions, finding purpose, or processing lived experiences? Are you in need of someone capable of providing guidance, active listening, empathetic understanding, & who can provide them with the tools to succeed? Are you open to gaining the knowledge and skills used in everyday life to help you grow and improve your overall well-being? I offer coping skills, resources, and knowledge to overcome any mental health challenges you may be facing. Instilling your self-confidence to succeed and walking this journey alongside you.

Let me be your mirror, by providing you with a reflection of who holds all the tools for solving your problems. I believe that we all have the answers within us. My job as a therapist is to support and provide different approaches to discovering those answers. I work to provide a safe and warm environment, where we can talk and work together at uncovering any questions you may have.

I entered this field and have remained in it for over 30 years because I am passionate about helping people to live better lives. I can assist you if are dealing with a mental illness, or if you desire coaching to reach your full potential. If you have had enough of your life as it is, and are ready to make significant changes, I can help you! You deserve a life of peace and hope.

Congrats on taking a step towards positive and lasting change! We all deserve to experience that feeling of peace, comfort, and a purpose that lasts! It IS possible to have meaningful and thriving relationships. Working with adults and adolescents for nearly a decade, the clients I work with have admittedly benefitted from my warm, motivational, and genuine approach. I am not a therapist who wants to just smile and nod and tell you what you WANT to hear. I will always listen but apart of the change process will involve us discussing what you NEED to hear in an unconditional way that uplifts and enhances your overall well-being.

There is a curious habit that I've noticed, especially when working with teens, that clients will mostly only work on the "issue of the week." This can have numerous benefits and can also delay the client's progress on any underlying concerns or patterns. Ideally, once a client has agreed to their treatment goals, they continue to take attainable steps towards that goal in therapy and in their daily life. When a client feels comfortable with their therapist to share their thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities, then deeper work can happen.

Life can be very tough and having someone in your corner supporting you can make all the difference. That is where I come in. While I cannot change your life circumstances, I can support you in learning the best way to respond to them in a way that aligns with your values. Using tools to support you in coping with daily life, we will navigate anything you are facing together. Whether it is childhood trauma, relationships, or current circumstances, we will process them together to ensure that your thoughts and beliefs are accurate and serving you in your daily life.

Hello! I have been helping people through tough life moments for the past 20 years. Whether you are struggling with ongoing mental health issues, dealing with a difficult transition, or just need a little extra support right now, I look forward to working through it together! I use a variety of evidence-based approaches to increase your coping skills, improve your relationships, and increase your overall functioning. I look forward to meeting you and getting started! Best, Katie

Life is difficult. Especially when you feel overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, fear, anger, or feelings of chronic emptiness. By starting counseling, you are taking the first step Towards starting to feel better. It is often difficult to reach out to a counselor because your brain may be telling you that you can handle your mental health, or that you don’t want to burden others with your problems. So take a moment to congratulate yourself on taking this first step. Respect, understanding, honesty and transparency define how I counsel.
