Asking for help is

a courageous step

-Mariska Hargitay

You will be in good hands during our time together. I strive to create a safe space for you to explore any thought or emotion that needs to be processed.

By using all of the benefits of telehealth therapy, you get to choose where you want to meet, whether it is on your own couch, a meeting room at work, or your favorite park bench, you get to settle in and feel a little more at ease knowing you can talk and heal anywhere at any time.


What clients are saying

“Katie truly listens and provides perspective that helps me feel validated, and also grow as a person. I owe Katie a lot to how much I’ve been able to better myself in the last few years. She’s the first therapist that I’ve had to truly take things seriously in a way that makes me feel cared for. I trust her as a wonderful source as I navigate all that life can throw at us.”

“I've been working with Katie for some time now. She's helped me feel empowered and find my light again. I feel confident in my future goals and know who I am as a person.”

“Katie is a great listener and has helped me come so far in processing some of life’s difficulties. I look forward to all of our sessions and feel very comfortable sharing with her. She has helped me start to find myself again, and even discover new things about me. She is very supportive, compassionate, and very empathetic and I couldn’t ask for a better therapist!” 

“Katie does a good job of relating and empathizing with you. She also does an amazing job of letting you get to the realization on your own instead of just telling you. I feel like it's allowed me to grow so much.” 

“Talking with Katie is like talking to a longtime friend - she listens intently and I always feel like I can trust her. She also gives me good suggestions, things to try, and handouts and things to read and learn, which I really appreciate. I like having homework that I can use to practice boundaries, etc.” 

“Katie truly made such a positive impact on my life. She helps me realize things about myself that I didn’t even know before and gives me helpful tools and techniques to manage my anxiety and any issues that may come up at the moment. Thanks to our sessions, I feel more confident in approaching my issues and speaking up for myself. I always feel comfortable talking with her, and I leave each session feeling lighter and more at peace. I’m really grateful for her support and guidance.”

“Katie is so validating, encouraging, supportive and truly caring. When I talk to Katie, I feel more understood, challenged, calm and hopeful. Her reality checks, reframes and METAPHORS are everything. I really love how she meets me where I'm at with my thoughts and at times messiness, and deeply appreciate how she speaks the language of the body and focuses on mind/body connection.”
