Hi, I’m Katie, and I’m not your average therapist.
Like most therapists, I care deeply about people. I believe in the power of sitting with someone as they work through the hardest parts of their life. I show up with compassion, clarity, and real investment in my clients’ lives.
But I don’t believe therapy stops there. I believe in gently challenging you, supporting you, and helping you work through what’s actually keeping you stuck, so you can reconnect with who you really are.
If coping skills alone were enough, you probably wouldn’t be here. You wouldn’t still feel this way. That’s why I focus on deeper work that leads to real, lasting change.
If you’re ready, I’d be honored to work with you.
What Mental Health Means to Me
At its core, I believe many of the symptoms that bring people to therapy—depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and addiction—are rooted in unhealed trauma. Sometimes that trauma is obvious. Other times, it’s quieter: feeling unseen, unsafe, or unsupported in the relationships that shaped you.
I don’t see my clients as broken or disordered. I see people who have learned to cope with pain they were never meant to carry alone. The ways you’ve adapted, whether through perfectionism, people-pleasing, avoidance, or substance use, make sense. They helped you survive. But at some point, they stop working.
In our work together, we don’t just manage symptoms. We get curious about them and build compassion for you. Your anxiety, depression, or patterns in relationships aren’t random. They’re meaningful. They point us toward the places that still need care and healing.
Because so much of this pain happens in relationship, healing happens in relationship too. Therapy becomes a space where you can experience something different: being seen, understood, and supported without judgment. A place to reconnect with yourself and begin to move through the world in a new way.
This work is deep, and at times, challenging. But it’s also human. We’ll laugh, we’ll feel, and we’ll do meaningful work together. If you’re ready, let’s get started.
