Hi, I’m Dr. Katie. I'm a psychologist and recovering perfectionist. If your brain is constantly playing a highlight reel of everything you should be doing better, we’ll probably get along great!
I work with adults who are tired of being "bossed around" by anxiety, people-pleasing, body image, disordered eating, trauma responses, and self-doubt.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and occasionally very direct (when you need it.)

What I want you to know about me as a therapist is that I learn from and alongside the people I work with. Curiosity is vital to my work. As a person, I value storytelling of all kinds, be it through conversation or creative outlets (like theatre, art, music, etc.). As someone who spent much of my life on a stage, I show up in therapy as a dynamic collaborator. Regardless of your age or perspective, I want to work with you and what is important to you to provide the best care I can.
