Hi there, I'm Kattie!

Whether this is your first time in therapy or your twentieth, beginning with a new therapist can feel like one of the biggest and most overwhelming steps. It’s common for this experience to come with uncertainty or even past negative thoughts. My goal is to support you through this journey by creating a safe and supportive space.

My focus

I support clients from a wide range of backgrounds as they navigate anxiety, self-doubt, trauma, incarceration, and major life changes. My approach is warm and flexible, meeting each individual where they are and helping them develop resilience and a sense of lasting emotional well-being.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy alongside motivational interviewing to support your growth in a way that feels natural and empowering. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts and feelings connect, gently work through unhelpful patterns, and build tools that fit your life. I’ll also help you tap into your own motivation and strengths.
