Katie is a compassionate, skilled, and dedicated mental health professional who believes deeply in the possibility of healing and transformation. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as a BFA in Photography, and brings many years of studio art practice into her work as a therapist. Her approach is non-hierarchical and grounded in nondirective, person-centered modalities. She views her role as creating a space of witness, support, regulation, care, and tending—allowing clients to move toward healing in their own way and in their own time. She sees healing as an expression of each person’s strength and determination, rather than something a therapist does for or to a client. Instead, it is something created together. At the heart of her practice is a deep belief that healing is possible with the right support.

Art and creativity are central to how Katie understands and practices counseling. Her background as an artist informs both her work with clients and how she conceptualizes their care. She hopes to help clients loosen the grip of self-sabotaging patterns, challenge disempowering narratives, and reconnect with their own agency and inner wisdom. Her work is rooted in radical acceptance and in learning to make space for what is, rather than focusing solely on change, achievement, or fixing.

Outside of her work as a therapist, Katie enjoys hiking, camping, weightlifting, making art, writing poetry, and spending time with family and friends.
