Specialized Psychotherapy for Women and LGBTQ+ Clients
telehealth private practice - california residents - cash pay
Hi, I'm Katy!
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #28768) with 18 years of experience providing specialty mental health care. I hold one of fewer than 1,000 Linehan Board Certifications in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy worldwide, and I work at the intersection of evidence-based treatment, somatic awareness, contemplative parts work and Jungian practice.
My practice is focused and intentional. I work with women and LGBTQ+ adults navigating burnout, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and mood disorders - particularly those who have tried traditional talk therapy before and want something more rigorous and more human.
I do not accept insurance. A limited number of private pay openings are available.
