Hi, I’m Katie.

My philosophy is simple: I am an expert on mental health, and you are the expert on you. Together, we will get you where you want to go.

As a psychotherapist with over ten years experience, I have successfully helped my clients navigate the complexities of identity, ambition, and family life. My work is rooted in the belief that while the world around us is often chaotic, our internal world can be a place of confidence and clarity.

Let's talk more

Areas of Treatment

  • Anxiety and Phobias

    Using Mindfulness, ERP & CBT

    Anxiety is a common reason people seek therapy. Often, patients come with a list of coping mechanisms that helped in the past but, for one reason or another, no longer work. My goal is to create space for patients to understand why they are experiencing anxiety in order to reduce stigma while approaching treatment in a way that quickly improves quality of life.

  • Burnout & Imposter Syndrome

    Using an Integrative Approach

    Burnout and imposter syndrome often go hand-in-hand: the constant pressure to prove your worth leads to a state of chronic exhaustion and a diminished sense of accomplishment. I help you uncover the root of this fatigue and address the factors that fuel it. With a background in the corporate world, I understand the systemic constraints you face and work with you to develop realistic solutions that provide both mental relief and professional clarity.

  • Emotional & Behavioral Changes

    Using CBT, DBT, & Psychodynamic

    My approach blends past-facing psychodynamic therapy with forward-facing behavioral techniques. This allows us to explore what you believe about yourself, and how you came to believe it. so we can identify the right behavioral shifts to get you where you want to go.

  • Life Transitions

    Using an Integrative Approach

    A therapist acts as a mirror, reflecting back the full picture of who you are so you can begin to change what you see. This process requires deep trust, first to look honestly at yourself, and then to make the changes that allow you totransform into the person you’ve always aspired to be.

  • Neurodivergent Support

    Executive Skills Coaching

    I have successfully worked with a number of neurodivergent patients including ADHD, and Autism using executive functioning training and coaching to support their daily management and personal goals.

  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

    Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

    I help people navigate OCD through ERP. I meet every patient with deep empathy, and we will move at a speed that feels right for you, I’ll never push you further than you’re willing to go. I often use imagery to help translate the complexities of OCD into more realistic, manageable terms. Together, we’ll collaborate on exposures so that you feel confident managing your progress and empowered to reach growth points.

  • Reparenting

    Using Psychodynamic & Schema Therapy

    The therapeutic process of giving yourself the nurturing, emotional support, and structure that you missed in childhood. It involves addressing unmet needs such as safety, affection, and self-compassion to heal emotional wounds, manage triggers, and foster self-love.

  • Creative Blocks

    Using an Integrative Approach

    I’ve successfully partnered with artists from many disciplines to work through the frustrations that can stall a project. I believe the therapeutic approach should be as unique as the medium you work in. By approaching creative blocks with curiosity and depth, we can lower the pressure and help you reconnect with the passions that drive your work.

Modality & Application

Individual Therapy

Therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me. Rather than following a rigid script, I use an integrative approach that blends different types of therapy based on what you want to achieve. We will work together to find the right balance of techniques that resonate with you, ensuring you feel supported, heard, and empowered to reach your personal goals.

Therapy for Professionals

I work with high-level thinkers who are used to setting goals and achieving them. These individuals typically enter therapy to deepen their self-understanding or because the strategies that once served them are no longer effective. This often occurs when they are ready for a professional pivot, navigating shifts in their home or family life, or facing the unique pressures of success that can lead to burnout or a crisis of identity.

Couples Therapy

I help couples to foster deeper understanding and lasting change. In couples therapy, we focus on breaking cycles, aligning expectations, and deepening intimacy to build a partnership that both partners can trust, lean into, and grow with.

Therapy for Creatives & Academics

I have successfully helped a range of professional artists including actors, producers, playwrights, musicians, photographers, authors, designers, and MFA & PhD candidates to use therapy to explore their passions on a deeper level. Together, we transform these insights into values-aligned action in both their careers and personal lives.
