You've lost yourself. There was a time when you knew yourself well and felt strong in who you are, but life, relationships, uncertainty, and doubt have crept in and now you're not so sure of yourself anymore. You feel like you're always trying to please others, or making excuses for not being what you think you should be, and you feel like a fraud. Like there are different parts of you showing up for different people, and it's hard to be authentically you. And it's exhausting! Hi, I'm Katie! I love helping women overcome anxiety, depression, grief, heal from trauma, create fulfilling relationships, & live the life you want to live.

Sometimes in life we all need a “companion on the journey,” someone to partner with us and help make sense of our experience, ease our pain, and support our goals. As a therapist, I am committed to providing a safe environment where individuals can identify their strengths, recognize unhelpful patterns, and live into their goals. Working from an integrative, client-centered approach, I seek to support individuals wherever they are on their journey and my approach is holistic, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I value cultural humility and look forward to working with people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life.

Life creates many obstacles and we do our best to provide balance in our lives. Families can be in need of more efficient structure and boundaries. Couples experience hurt and difficulties when attempting to communicate feelings and work through yesterday and today's problems. My specialties include, but are not limited to, working with high conflict couples, infidelity, working through past resentments and managing conflict in a productive manner. I am currently taking classes to become a certified sex therapist. I work with individuals, couples and families to help them strengthen their relationships with others.

Therapy is a place for yourself or your loved one to take time to build self-care, self-reflection, insight and skills to manage the symptoms they are experiencing. Many adults and youth experience symptoms of depression, anxiety or are overcoming issues of past trauma that plays in to their ability to go about life. Sometimes relationships, school or work are harder to navigate, build or maintain. Sometimes self-esteem and self-worth can interfere with our abilities to experience healthy relationships whether that is with friends, peers or family members. Coming to therapy can help you build skills to navigate these hardships.

You're deeply worthy, just as you are. Difficult life experiences can sometimes create a sense of disconnection from that truth. Maybe you're feeling lost, stuck, misunderstood, isolated, or overwhelmed. The way you feel right now is valid -and- your story doesn't stop there. You can wholeheartedly reclaim your next chapter and beyond. Know that you're not alone in this journey home to yourself. A good therapist can offer a safe, empathetic space to help you understand your past in a more empowered way, release limiting beliefs, skillfully notice and shift patterns, and embrace the inner resources you've had all along.
