Welcome! I'm Katie, a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping clients understand their emotions, build self-compassion through education, and create a future aligned with their values.

 

I take a systems perspective, recognizing how our relationships—to people, communities, and the world—shape our experiences and influence our mental health. My approach is trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming, integrating CBT and parts-based models while providing a neurobiological context for deeper understanding.

Welcome! I'm Katie, a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping clients understand their emotions, build self-compassion through education, and create a future aligned with their values.

 

I take a systems perspective, recognizing how our relationships—to people, communities, and the world—shape our experiences and influence our mental health. My approach is trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming, integrating CBT and parts-based models while providing a neurobiological context for deeper understanding.

 

I have a background in supporting survivors of trauma, with a focus on women's issues. I also have experience in crisis response and in navigating the medical health system, both as a patient and provider.

 

I work with individuals, supporting them in navigating mental health challenges, including PTSD, depression, or issues like identity exploration and self-esteem. Our work will be tailored to you, whether it's skill building, emotional healing, managing concerning symptoms, or planning a future that brings you joy.
