Therapist, Supervisee in Social Work
​I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, neurodiversity and pathological demand avoidance (PDA), substance abuse, identity conflicts, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, grief, and interpersonal violence. My trauma-informed, integrative approach to therapy promotes an adaptive and personalized environment that supports each client's individual strengths, needs, and goals through interpersonal therapy, EMDR, and child-centered play therapy.
About Katie
As someone who deeply believes in the transformative power of human connection, my approach is centered around building meaningful helping relationships rooted in empathy and trust. I aim to create a safe and collaborative space where individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and identities can show up as their authentic selves and feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported through life’s challenges.
As a member and ally of the LGBTQIA+ community, I intimately understand the complex challenges its members face and am dedicated to providing inclusive, affirming care that celebrates diversity. I am also interested in serving those at the intersection of neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ identity.
I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, substance abuse, identity conflicts, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, grief, and interpersonal violence. My trauma-informed, integrative approach to therapy promotes an adaptive and personalized environment that supports each client's individual strengths, needs, and goals. I have training in best practices in trauma treatment, child-centered play therapy, working with neurodivergent individuals, as well as expressive arts and sand tray therapy. Having a breadth of ways of approaching the work allows me to meet each client's unique needs and authentically connect.
With compassion, insight, and a touch of humor, I look forward to helping you navigate the twists and turns of your unique story. Together, we can craft a path toward healing and begin a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
