Katie utilizes an integrative and evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing from modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic therapy. Her therapeutic style is trauma-informed and rooted in fostering safety, trust, and meaningful connection throughout the healing process.

She values honoring the complexity of each individual’s identity and experiences, and she strives to help clients build insight, resilience, and increase emotional well-being.
Her clinical interests include trauma-informed care, identity development, emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and supporting individuals navigating major life changes. Katie is passionate about helping clients better understand themselves while developing practical tools for growth and healing.

Outside of her academic and clinical work, Katie enjoys: 

• Traveling to new places and being near the ocean.
• Cooking and preparing meals for her loved ones.
