No single approach fits all clients; I tailor my approach to each client, making it relevant to the specific problem they are facing. The best way to understand your current issues is to examine how your past influences who you are today. I also emphasize understanding your emotions and past patterns to ensure a better understanding of yourself. I strive to provide a gentle and warm experience, ensuring you are comfortable within the therapy setting and process these hard feelings through a genuine relationship. I also ensure that you understand the process of our work together so you can feel informed and empowered.

Hi! I’m Katie, and I’m a licensed psychotherapist helping people create a life they love. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in publishing at Penguin Random House and previously ran a jewelry line carried in over 250 stores nationwide. After earning my master’s from the Crown Family School of Social Work, I completed my clinical training at UChicago Medicine and LifePath Therapy Associates. Today, I use a combination of CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to support C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, young professionals, writers, and anyone navigating uncertainty to create meaningful change.

Your brain is a physical organ — and like any organ, it can heal, and change. Your struggles aren't character flaws; they're brain biology, and our brains can heal and grow.

I offer neuroscience-based psychiatric care via telehealth throughout Connecticut, drawing on 27 years across the state's healthcare landscape — ICUs, ERs, home visits, schools, and communities. Awareness is the first step in healing.

I specialize in working with individuals who feel stuck in unhealthy or confusing relationship patterns, including those recovering from narcissistic abuse or navigating attachment wounds. Together, we focus on building self-trust, strengthening boundaries, and creating more secure, fulfilling connections.

I also enjoy working with teens and young adults who are navigating important life transitions, whether that’s adjusting to college, exploring identity, managing anxiety, or figuring out friendships and dating. This stage of life can feel overwhelming, and therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and build confidence in who you are becoming.

Real support for real life, wherever you are in your journey.

As an LCSW with more than a decade of experience, I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and life's inevitable turning points. Outside the office, my life is full with my small children and energetic puppy. I share that because I understand, firsthand, how full and unpredictable life can feel, and how hard it can be to carve out space just for you. That's exactly what our time together is for.

Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting. I am so glad you have taken this step. I work to provide a safe place to help you feel heard, understood and safe. My goal is to create a relationship with you, where you can bring your whole self. The parts that feel strong, the parts you struggle with and the parts that might make you feel shame or judgement.

As a licensed clinical social worker I have over 20 years experience working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, post partum mood disorders, and medical trauma. I love working with individuals facing major life changes and chronic stress, and grief and loss.
