I have worked with adults, adolescents, and families and use Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing with a trauma-informed perspective.
If you are feeling stuck, unsure of why you are feeling what you are feeling, or don't know what to do next, counseling is a wonderful place to start. We all deserve to find and experience joy in our lives, and this looks different for everyone. Whether you are overwhelmed and burned out by work, school, or life in general, or finding it difficult to cope with life's many challenges, you do not have to go through it alone.

My primary therapy styles that I use are ACT, EMDR, CBT, Mentalizing, & Motivational Interviewing.
I love working with clients who are trying to find their way in this world. Through the use of evidence-based therapies such as ACT & EMDR, I strive to help my clients better clarify their goals and values, as well as work through the steps to move towards those objectives in a compassionate & meaningful way. Additionally, another primary goal during therapy for myself is to help my clients engage in the best utilization of their thumos, or central drive and passion, to find a life that is fulfilling and helps the client to attain eudaimonia, or full human flourishing.

Hi! I'm Kati! I can't wait to have a conversation with you! Have you ever struggled with food? Or struggled with feeling really terribly about your body? I get it. Unfortunately, it's all too common and it can feel like an endless fight with yourself. I have been working with individuals who struggle with food and their bodies in a variety of capacities for over ten years. I have helped people move from a place of constant negativity about food and their bodies to a place of acceptance and, if not peace, definitely more peace than before. I can help you, too.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
