Creating a safe space that fosters emotional resilience is foundational in Katie's work in helping clients reconnect with their most authentic self.

 

Katie treats a wide range of concerns, but with over 13 years of experience supporting survivors of sexual violence, trauma, and systemic oppression; she specialize in working with individuals navigating complex trauma and identity exploration. Trauma impacts both the mind and body, so the work of healing will be done in such a way that you feel safe and well supported.

 

Being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, Katie loves supporting all clients and provides affirming and inclusive care that honors each client’s lived experience and identity. Katie integrates evidence-based approaches into her work including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. Her clinical style is collaborative, relational, and grounded in the belief that every person has the capacity to heal when given the right support and understanding.

 

Outside of the therapy room, Katie enjoys spending time in her backyard garden, drinking too much coffee, reading poetry, and spending time with her partner and two dogs.
