I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, substance use disorders, relationship issues, trauma related concerns, grief and loss issues, and stress management.
My counseling approach to helping clients is to work with them where they are currently at in order to work on bettering their lives through learning new coping skills and understanding why they have been struggling with their issues. My approach focuses on developing a therapeutic alliance by using client-centered approach as well as using cognitive behavioral techniques to assist individuals to overcome the obstacles they are currently experiencing in their life so they can move forward and have the life that they have always wanted.

Katie is great, she always listens to me and helps me find solutions.
Finding Katie has changed my life in 8 months, I've went from being angry and up and down to living a close to normal life again.
I appreciate her and highly recommend her.

She's very patient and understanding. I never felt patronized or pushed into things I didn't want. I would recommend her to anyone. I'm a bit stand-off-ish and she got through.

Katie is great! When I had my first session with her she asked me right away "what's bothering you?" Straight to the point, which is exactly what I need. She is patient and helps to guide me in the right direction always. I've been working with her a little over 3 months now and I couldn't be happier with all the progress I've made while working with her!

Katie is wonderful! She made me feel so safe and comfortable. This was my first therapy experience and I truly believe it has helped me immensely. I was so upset to stop my sessions due to financial issues but, when I get a chance to start again, I would choose to be paired with Katie. She got me to open up more about my past traumas and helped me work through difficult tasks. She was very patient and made me feel like what I said mattered and that I mattered.
