Hi, my name is Katie (she/hers). My philosophy toward psychotherapy is this: you are the expert on you, and I'm here to help you learn, explore, and grow as we walk through this journey of psychotherapy together.
I am a compassion centered, dedicated therapist, who has spent the last six years specializing in working with transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse individuals on their journey toward authenticity and actualization. I am trained in the most updated WPATH guidelines for gender affirming care. Above all, I engage in ongoing education and training in this evolving field with integrity.
Additionally, I have experience in and passion for working with clients in understanding early childhood attachment experiences. More specifically, the impact of such experiences on their thoughts, emotions, self-concept, and helping them develop healthier, secure beliefs and relationships in adulthood.
Utilization of a variety of evidence-based techniques and modalities will be employed in our therapeutic work. These include Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Based Therapy (ABFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Person Centered Therapy. The goal is to help each client identify their individual strengths, as we walk together in defining an authentic and fulfilling life.
