I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I have been in the helping field for over 10 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, social behavior, and crisis counseling. I specialize in areas of trauma to include physical and emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psycho-dynamic and an overall integrative and holistic approach. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe that everyone already has the answers to their own questions and just needs someone to help find them.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Compassion fatigue, ADHD

Great counselor, helps me get to the base of my issues and figure out how to best work through them with actionable advice

I'd never done counseling before and admittedly had a little bit of a hard time finding the right fit, but Katie was so helpful and thoughtful and always had an open ear for all the stuff I was dealing with (breakups, moves, stress, anxiety) and offered both advice and ways to cope a little better.

She’s awesome!!! I am so lucky to have her as my therapist. She makes me see things differently but also reminding me of myself. I am really getting better because of her and her reasoning.

Katie has a knack for getting to the heart of a matter and really helps her clients see emotions and situations in a clear light. I always feel so much better after our sessions and messages. Can’t recommend her enough!

I started working with Katie after a major and unexpected life change. Her guidance was instrumental to my healing process. I highly recommend Katie as a therapist - she is down to earth, honest, and really helped me reframe the way I think about my life and relationships.
