About Katie

Katie embarked on her professional journey in Mental Health Counseling after dedicating nearly a decade to emergency medicine and military service. Her early clinical experience involved participation in research programs focused on providing support to teens at risk of suicidality and self-injury. Transitioning to private practice, Katie expanded her expertise in addressing general mood and behavioral concerns, as well as introducing a specialization in maternal mental health/fertility challenges.

​

Katie's ongoing clinical focus revolves around providing compassionate care for individuals navigating anxiety and she excels in creating a supportive space for those who have undergone traumatic events. She takes great pride in establishing a safe and inclusive environment that embraces diversity, including but not limited to the LGBTQ+ community, alternative family structures, and veterans/first responders. 

​

Central to Katie's therapeutic approach is a belief in the power of a healthy strivings perspective. She contends that every thought, behavior and emotion, even those that appear exceptionally challenging, can be traced back to fundamental desires for belonging, understanding, connection, and safety.

​

In her practice, Katie's blend of experience, compassion, and dedication fosters a warm and professional environment, allowing individuals to navigate their mental health journey with support and understanding.
