Hey, katy Here!

Ready to hack cycles of chronic stress?

In my experience, everything starts in the mind. We can’t stop all the stressors that happen in life, but we can change the way we relate to them. Mental wellness and mindful wellbeing deserve to be much higher on your priority list - it’s the foundation to everything!

This is not about making yourself a project to ‘fix’. It really starts with forming a healthier relationship with yourself - learning to balance acceptance of yourself with trying to change yourself.

My work is to help you connect to your internal wisdom, become the master of your thoughts and emotions, let go of self-judgment and comparisons that just keep you stuck. If you are not aligned with yourself internally, it’s hard to be effective at reaching any external goals or supporting anyone else you love and care about.

The work I do with my clients is rooted not just in modern science, but in ancient wisdom that has been around for thousands of years in things like mindfulness practice and dialectical (balanced) thinking. When you tune in to your mind-body connection and shift your internal presence, it ripples out to everything around you.

My big picture

Sustainable and Regenerative Living

Nature has always been my greatest inspiration, and the solutions to our problems are often right in front of us and much simpler than we think. My love for nature is at the heart of everything I do, and in my early adulthood it dawned on me that we will never care for our planet in balanced ways until we learn to do that internally for ourselves. If we can each learn to balance the mind & body more, it translates to our relationship with each other and the planet. In order for us to better care for nature’s ecosystems, we must tend the ecosystem within each of us, and learn to be in community more effectively amid collective (eco) ‘systems’.  

In addition to my work as a therapist and coach, I am also a passionate and outspoken advocate for social and economic justice issues. Everything is connected. What happens on a macro cultural level directly impacts what people are experiencing at the micro individual level. If we don’t find a way to balance the collective extremes we’ve gotten ourselves into politically and socially, all circuits will continue to fry, individually and collectively. 

My mission has always been to leave this world better than I found it, and I find so much meaning through authentic human connection. I love sharing the tools I was privileged to learn in my career which have also assisted me personally in coping with the stress and anxiety that comes along with this life, and have helped me find more calm in a chaotic world. I provide trauma-informed care as well as a whole-person, holistic perspective that works with the mind-body connection. I'm lucky to LOVE what I do.

In my free time you can find me backpacking, dancing to music and traveling as often as possible! When I’m not working with my clients or enjoying my (childfree by choice) life with friends & family, you can find me writing and podcasting about broader cultural and political issues. 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!
