For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Therapy is simply a space for you to show up as you are, without judgment. It’s okay to feel nervous, uncertain, or even skeptical. Many people do at first. You don’t have to share everything right away—we go at your pace. My role is to meet you where you are, help you feel safe, and support you in making sense of what you’re going through. If you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time, you deserve a space where you don’t have to do that anymore. Even taking the first step to reach out is meaningful—and you’re allowed to take it one step at a time. 

I attended University of Baltimore and earned my Master of Science in Applied Psychology in 2014. Over the past 8 years, I have been practicing therapy in a variety of outpatient settings. Currently, I am providing individual therapy for adults with a variety of diagnosis and issues. My treatment is individualized to meet the needs of my clients.

Therapy is a place of zero judgement and a compassionate ear to help you truly understand yourself, your experiences and your relationships. It is completely normal to be nervous, especially if this will be your first time in therapy. Our brain identifies new situations as possibly threatening because it doesn't know exactly how it will play out. However, most individuals I have worked with, who were also quite nervous about therapy, have expressed feeling at ease and encouraged by the end of their first session. If you are thinking about reaching out to a therapist (either myself or another), I encourage you to do so. Oftentimes, we must face that which we are afraid of in order for our brain to realize it's not as scary as it originally thought it would be. You got this.

Hey there! My name is Katie and I specialize in helping late teens and young adults experience freedom from anxiety. I began working with individuals struggling with anxiety disorders back in 2018 and have been focused on learning as much as possible about anxiety and the inner workings of the brain and body in those who experience anxiety. I strongly believe in the mind-body connection and have seen powerful transformations from using this information to create lasting changes to our mental health.

Everyday someone struggles with the idea of whether therapy is the right choice for them. Many people attempt to “push through”, ignore or avoid dealing with issues that may be reoccurring in their life. For some it’s about not wanting to share personal information with a stranger. Other times it’s about fear of trying something new. For many it’s about believing that they can resolve issues without support from others. Some may feel that seeking therapy is a sign of weakness. Oddly enough it takes strength and self awareness to recognize when support may be helpful.

Therapy is not as scary as your mind is telling you. It is a collaborative process, where we work together and you are in control every step of the way. My treatment approach is focused on fostering personal growth and awareness, meaning and purpose in life. I am committed to inclusivity and disability advocacy and use affirmative principles that focus on strength and resilience to help individuals feel confident and empowered by their diverse identities. 

Living with a difference, like a chronic health condition or a disability, can feel challenging at times. As a clinical psychologist specializing in rehabilitation psychology, I help individuals to cope and adapt with chronic illness, and thrive during stressful life changes and transitions. I work with individuals to address psychological issues ranging from mental health conditions like anxiety and depression, to coping with health and life stressors, to navigating body image concerns, visible differences, and overcoming shame and stigmatization.

Therapy is one of the most rewarding things you could do for yourself; after all, where else do you get an hour dedicated to just yourself and your experiences? While it's scary to get started and can feel overwhelming at times, I'm here to help you along the way. Gift yourself the opportunity to decrease distress, alleviate painful emotions, gain insight into your experiences, and create meaningful long-lasting change.

If you find that you’re struggling in your relationships, maybe working harder than others and still feeling that this isn’t enough, or you’re feeling as though life is a balancing act and you’re overwhelmed, anxious, irritable or that you’ll break down at any moment, then you’ve come to the right place. I work with adults who struggle to effectively manage demands, feel burnt out, and are constantly shifting to accommodate their varying needs but never feel steady. I work from an integrative approach with a focus on helping you find relief from painful emotions, increase self-understanding, and learn valuable skills to make effective change. It is possible to feel stable and secure and to have healthy, fulfilling relationships and life. I can help!

The first step is always the most difficult and you have already taken it! Let's work together at your pace to move forward.

We could all use a therapist sometimes - a relatively objective person with expertise outside of your who can act as a sounding board and/or an advocate. Everyone needs that!
