Welcome! My name is Katie and I am a professional counselor licensed in Pennsylvania with several years experience working as a therapist. I have worked with folks that have come to me with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar, past trauma, low self-esteem, difficult life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. During this time I have also helped people who have experienced different forms of trauma as well as emotional and psychological abuse.
I consider my counseling style to be engaging, empathetic and respectful. I approach my role as a counselor with sincerity and appreciation, believing that it is crucial to treat all those I have the pleasure to work alongside with compassion, integrity, and non-judment. I have confidence in taking a holistic perspective when engaging with individuals and understanding where challenges may be arising from, as well as a well rounded take in how to address these challenges. My approach combines and is informed by attachment-based, humanistic, internal family systems, psychodynamic, relational and emotion-focused. With that being said, I will treat each person as a unique individual that has come to me based on their unique journey, and our dialog and treatment will be designed as such to meet your needs.
It takes bravery and open mindedness to put ones self out there and open up to another in search of a more fulfilling, taking these first steps towards a change. If you feel that you are ready to take that step, and feel that my approach is fitting for your needs, I am here to support and empower you along your journey.
Thank you for taking some time to read a bit about me, I look forward to speaking with you!
