Hi, I'm Katie! I am passionate about helping young adults with mental health issues.

I am a committed mental health professional with a Master’s degree in Social Work and a license as a clinical social worker (LCSW). I also hold an undergraduate degree in child development with a minor in family relations. I am passionate about helping families and young adults navigate the intricacies of this life stage. Family dynamics are essential for effective therapy, so I include parents in the process.

My therapy approach utilizes the following modalities, trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral therapy, play therapy, family systems theory and attachment theories. I tailor my methods to meet the unique needs of each child and family. With fifteen years of experience in schools, group homes, and in-home counseling, I have developed skills to support youth during tough times. I focus on assisting young adults aged 13-18 who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, drinking coffee, and spending time with my husband and twin daughters.
