(NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS)

Hi, I’m Katie. As a counselor, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside individuals going through challenges. My goal as your therapist is to support and empower you toward your goals and promote healing. I believe in listening to your story, helping you uncover your priorities, and offering tools to help you decide next steps. In my practice, this may involve experiencing the healing power of exercise, art, and play; it may also involve processing your thoughts on a deeper level verbally or through writing.

I believe optimal health encompasses the whole person physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and creatively. I see all these areas as connected and work to address them through a variety of interventions. Because every person is different, I will tailor our time together to your interests and needs.

My specialty areas include:

• Trauma and PTSD

• Women’s issues including perinatal counseling

• Chronic pain/adapting to physical health issues

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Grief

• Relationship concerns

• ADHD

• Existential concerns

• Identity

• EMDR

I use a combination of the following modalities in my practice: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Expressive Arts Therapy, Movement/Body-Focused Therapy, Attachment-based Therapy, Experiential Therapies, Mindfulness-based Therapy, Play Therapy, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing. I am open to working with children, adolescents, and adults.
