My name is Katie. I am the creator of Burnout Relief and the Storytelling Group. I help people who are struggling with mental health master themself and create a life they love!

Individual and family therapist, with several years experiences and masters level education and fully licensed.

I have a degree in Social Work with a focus on family systems, sociology and human sexuality. Throughout my career I have worked with people of various backgrounds and with a variety of needs. I have worked with families and within a school setting with middle and high school students. I am looking forward to working with you. My passion has always been to help others with their emotional and mental health needs. I pride myself in being a great listener and by challenging negative thinking and working together, I anticipate successful outcomes and growth in your life!

I value the connection and trust necessary for a therapeutic relationship to feel comfortable, successful and productive. I strive to help my clients feel safe to share honestly while offering validation and accountability for opportunities of growth, empowerment, and skill-building. We work together to identify origins of problematic or maladaptive beliefs and patterns of behavior in order to confront and replace them. With compassion, patience and empathy, I assist clients in gaining effective coping skills, setting healthy boundaries, implementing positive lifestyle choices, and improving decision-making strategies. I obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree (BS) in Psychology and Biology and a Master of Science Degree (MS) in Professional Counseling. I have experience in a variety of settings including the school setting, partial hospitalization program and outpatient therapy. I am a fully Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I am a supervisor to Limited Licensed Professional Clinicians as well, providing guidance during their education and building experience in the field.  Making the decision to begin therapy is often not an easy one, I work to ensure a cathartic experience of healing and progress. Please refer to the listed age-ranges and specialities I am privileged to work with in order to evaluate if I would be the right fit for your counseling needs.

I am here to listen, understand, and help you get through this difficult time. Non-judgmental, empathetic, and willing to meet you where you are at each session, I am here to help you see things differently, help you change your mindset, and help you think, feel, and process important things in your life.

If you are curious, hesitant, or intimidated about seeking therapy, I am here to help. I create a nonjudgemental, safe and confidential space where you can freely express yourself without fear, judgment or criticism. This space is dedicated solely to your well-being, where you can explore your emotions, build your self-esteem and cultivate self-compassion. If you value a creative and holistic approach to therapy, we may integrate art or other expressive techniques like mindfulness. I am passionate about trauma and women's issues. My training and experience allows me to navigate the complex needs of survivors of all ages, including young survivors. One area of particular interest to me is the mind-body-spirit approach. These therapies focus on the body's wisdom in healing trauma and provide a holistic approach to recovery. As part of Wellspring Therapeutic Partners, I regularly consult with our team of therapists, prescribers, and psychologists who specialize in a variety of areas. I can provide seamless referrals for medication management or testing, though we always welcome and encourage you to keep working with your outside provider if helpful.

At Nurturing Selves, I provide high quality mental health treatment using methods that best meet the needs of the child,  their parents/caregivers, and their families.

I became a therapist out of my love for helping others. Life is challenging and we all go through struggles. I believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to feel heard, validated, valued, inspired and worthy. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself by providing a warm and empathic environment while offering guidance and skills to effectively manage your life. Whether you are struggling with a chronic mental health diagnosis, situational depression or common life stressors, therapy can help. Nurturing your mental health is one of the most important things you can do!  I specialize in working with teens and young adults. I have found the most benefit in working with young women to develop confidence, self love and let go of societal expectations telling us who we should be to fully embrace who we are. In additional, I enjoy working with college aged kids to help manage academic stressors and expectations and develop coping skills to reduce anxiety and depression. As a recent new mom, I have also found great joy in working with pre and postpardum mom’s to help address anxiety, depression, increase coping skills, normalize the experience and provide support to all the challenges and joys that come with being a mom. Areas of expertise include trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and grief/loss. I strongly believe that managing our emotions is paramount to quality mental health. Simply talking about our emotions doesn’t solve the overall problem. However, when we are aware of our emotions, understand them and process them rather than avoid them, we can respond rather than react. Our decision making does not have to always be in response to an emotion. Balancing emotions with knowldege, insight and awareness is key to regulating emotions and regulating emotion is one of the most important skills one can possess. After all, emotions drive human behavior. When we can effecitvely and healthfully manage them, we are better able to navigate realtionships, address conflct, improve relationships, reduce stress and live our lives to the best of our potential. This, in combination with developing personalized coping skills, is what I base my therapeutic interventions on.
