Hey, katy Here!

Who I am:

I've been a therapist for 18 years, but that's just part of who I am.  I'm also a writer, a lover of nature and a student of Zen Buddhism.  Understanding the interconnectivity of all things, and how to build more regenerative ways of living - both internally and externally - are huge passions of mine.  

My clinical training is deep and specific. I hold a Linehan Board Certification in Dialectical Behavior Therapy - a credential that requires years of extensive supervised hours, rigorous examination, and ongoing training. I also draw on Jungian psychology, somatic approaches, and an understanding of how broader cultural systems impact our internal experiences. These frameworks shape how I listen, how I conceptualize, and how I work.

I specialize in clients who are highly capable and genuinely struggling - women and LGBTQ+ adults who are burned out, dysregulated, carrying unprocessed trauma, or caught in patterns they can't think their way out of. I work best with people who want depth, not just coping skills.  As a clinician I bring my whole self into the session and believe deeply in genuine connection (none of this old school 'cold and aloof blank slate' approach.  I blend humor, irreverance and warmth as well as challenge.

In my free time you can find me backpacking, dancing to music with friends  and traveling as often as possible! When I’m not working with my clients or enjoying my (childfree by choice) life with my husband, friends & family, you can find me occasionally writing and podcasting about broader cultural and political issues that impact mental health. If you ever have any questions about my services don't hesitate to shoot me an email or message me on Instagram where I have lots of fun giving space to my creativity. 

I look forward to supporting your journey!
