About me

Hi, I'm Katie.

Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded. We figure out together what you want from it, and we go from there.

Patterns tend to repeat, even once we understand them. Most of the people I work with are pretty self-aware. They've reflected on their past and their relationships, and they can usually tell you why they react the way they do. And still, the same things keep coming up: replaying a conversation for hours afterward, landing in a familiar relationship dynamic again, or feeling flooded by something that seems small on paper.

Insight is a good start. It just doesn't always change anything on its own. I draw on psychodynamic and attachment-based therapy to look at where your patterns come from, and I bring in practical tools so you can use what you learn in the moment, out in your actual life.

I tend to work best with people who are curious about themselves and open to looking a little deeper. If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you.

What therapy with me feels like

Sessions move at your pace. Some weeks we focus on tools you can try right away, and other weeks we slow down and look at what's underneath. You decide what we talk about.

I don't stick to one method. Depending on what you need, I draw from:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Attachment-Based
  • Emotionally Focused
  • Humanistic
  • Integrative
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  • Interpersonal
  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Narrative
  • Person-Centered
  • Psychodynamic
  • Strength-Based
