Hi there, I'm Katy!

Congratulations on deciding to make a change. Many clients first come to therapy in pain, struggling with alcohol, drugs, food, unresolved grief, anxiety, depression, or past trauma. You deserve to be loved, experience joy, and have a sense of belonging.

My focus

I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTQIA community, people of color, and those with varied spiritual beliefs. I support children, families, transitional-aged youth, and adults struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addiction.

My approach

I create a safe and trusting space for healing and growth. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Trauma-Informed Care to help you navigate challenges and find healthier choices.
