What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

In our sessions, you can expect a safe, supportive space where you’re free to share your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I take a collaborative approach, meaning we’ll work together to set goals and explore what feels most important to you. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate evidence-based techniques such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, or trauma-focused approaches — always tailored to your unique situation. Sessions often include reflection, skill-building, and practical tools you can use in your daily life. Above all, therapy with me is about creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward healing and growth.

With over a decade of experience, I offer individual and group therapy tailored to your unique needs. I’m trained in powerful, evidence-based approaches like EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, and CBT — which means we’ll work together to find strategies that truly support your growth and healing. In addition to clinical work, I’ve had the honor of presenting at national conferences, including the National Organization for Victims Advocacy and the Texas Council for Family Violence. Locally, I collaborate with schools and organizations to promote mental wellness in our community. My specialties include working with trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship issues, neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism support), LGBTQIA+ identity, spirituality, self-harm, and more. I also offer virtual therapy through telehealth, making it easy to connect no matter where you are.

We will talk about the things that are concerning you and discuss possible solutions to help you meet your goals.  

I am a licensed social worker with 25+ years of experience listening and helping people reach their goals. 

A typical session runs from 55minutes -60minutes and is very organic in conversation. It's like dancing, you lead and I'll follow. If you don't know where to go or what to do, I can switch and take the lead to help discover some paths you may not have discovered yourself. I provide new skills, perspective, and insights into daily life or bigger issues. You're not alone in this, and we can take it at whatever speed you need to.

Growing up in New York state, I had always wanted to change the world and help people. From a very young age, I remember getting a “doctor” gift for my birthday with the plastic stethoscope, and the “doctor Katie” printed on the jacket. After “listening” to my mother’s heart, I sat her down and said “mommy, how are you today?”. As I got older and the topic of psychology and neuroscience were explained to me, I began becoming fascinated with the brain and specifically the mind. I am also a dancer and dance teacher, and dance and physical movement have always been such a big part of my life. It made complete sense to me to use dance as an emotional outlet. This was my savior throughout any and all hardships I’ve faced. I love spreading my passion for the art of dance and the emotional release it has, so it made perfect sense to start to marry the two worlds together: psychology and dance. This led me to gain an Associates degree in Humanities with emphasis in performing arts, specifically dance. Then onto my Bachelor’s where I studied psychology with an emphasis on neuroscience. From there, I took a bold risk and moved across the country to San Diego and attended University of San Diego for my Masters degree in Counseling, specialization Clinical Mental Health. While at USD, I received my Practicum placement at an organization that works with Tribally enrolled and Tribally affiliated Native Americans/Alaska Natives where I have been able to further explore my passion for holistic counseling and alternative forms of counseling such as incorporating dance and movement into sessions. I take a very Person-Centered approach where I allow you, the client to be the guide, as you are the expert in your life and I am here to help you walk on that path and decide what works best for you. I draw from various therapeutic interventions including Gestalt theory, neurobiology, EFT, Attachment theory, Mindfulness based practices, CBT and DBT. I utilize play therapy with younger clients and with those who are interested in physical movement. I hope through our work together, you gain a sense of grounded self, peace within your world, and new perspectives that will support and advance your growth and healing.

Some of my clients choose to bring a list of topics they want to discuss or process, some have a specific area of issue that will be the ongoing discussing, or other will come with the daily/weekly stressors that arise. And if you are not sure what to say, I can always help get our conversations going somewhere valuable for you. With any of these approaches, we can always get to root causes and ongoing issues you tend to run into in life. I will provide empathetic listening, and new perspectives and plenty of feedback. I always let my clients know that any ideas I present are not meant to be advice, but to help triggers your own inner knowing, or to come up with your own ideas of what would work best for you.

As a licensed psychotherapist and life coach, I help ambitious, anxious women learn how to trust and put themselves first, so they can stop burning themselves out trying to meet other people’s expectations. My clients have done all the things to create a life they would be proud of, but they’re not as happy as they thought they would be. I help them to get their confidence back and experience more joy - and I’d love to help you do the same.
