MESSAGE TO CLIENTS
Hi, my name is Katie. As a therapist, I am passionate about helping people gain a greater understanding of themselves to lead more joyful, fulfilling lives. I do this by first prioritizing our therapeutic relationship–after all, meaningful change can only occur if you feel safe and supported in therapy, so I emphasize creating a space that feels warm, genuine, culturally sensitive, and compassionate as you work towards your goals.

Whether you’re coming to therapy for a specific issue or simply want a non-biased, informed perspective on life’s challenges as they arise, I can help you move towards living the life you want. As a therapist, I recognize that people have different needs when they start therapy, but may not know what those are quite yet. Based on our relationship, I adapt my style of therapy to your needs, whether that’s offering practical tools you can incorporate between sessions or providing an empathetic, non-judgmental space for you to process the week’s events. Specifically, I can focus on helping you develop a deeper awareness of the role that unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns play in various aspects of life, from our careers and future plans to our relationships. ​
