“I am dedicated to assisting individuals in exploring their mental health, overcoming obstacles and discovering innovative approaches to living their most fulfilling lives. I believe that each individual is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet each of my client’s specific needs and goals.”
In Katie’s practice she prioritizes creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Her flexible therapeutic style allows for adjustments as clients navigate their journey. Katie views therapy as a collaborative partnership, where therapist and client work as a team to identify challenges and develop effective strategies for growth. By fostering open communication and trust, she strives to help clients uncover their strengths and build resilience, ultimately guiding them toward meaningful and lasting change.
Katie utilizes a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy. These approaches enable clients to address a range of issues, from developing healthy decision-making skills and setting boundaries to coping with past traumas. Katie works with clients to explore the connections between thoughts and feelings, fostering greater self-awareness and insight. Additionally, she will provide psychoeducation to equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary for personal growth and emotional well-being.
