I am really enjoying my sessions with Katie - they feel authentic and cathartic. It's been really great to establish a care for my voice and needs especially in a transitional time.

About Kathleen

Throughout her career, Katie has had a wide range of experiences working with both teens and adults who are survivors of complex trauma. In addition to previous outpatient therapy, she has managed community-based programs providing help with the transition to adulthood for at-risk teens and adolescents with significant mental health needs. She served as a co-facilitator of evidence-based multi-family psychoeducation groups for families with a teen diagnosed with either bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Katie also spent six years as a therapist and Behavioral Health Director within the juvenile justice system and hardware secure settings, providing trauma-informed individual, family, and substance abuse services.
Katie maintains a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach with all clients. The basis of her work with clients is supported by the frameworks of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. Katie is on the national registry of therapists certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and specializes in working with individuals who have a history of acute and complex traumatic experiences.

"As a queer-identified clinician, I understand and prioritize the need for access to a stigma-free and trauma-informed therapeutic environment in which each of my clients are able to fully explore all aspects of life and identity, in order to become their most authentic self."

Get to know Kathleen
What’s one thing you wish all clients knew?
You're not alone and you're anywhere close to as awful/embarrassing/terrible/"messing it all up" as you're telling yourself.
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
I am an avid hiker, so I try to get out in nature as much as possible on my days off. I also love to garden, read, paint and cook. Getting the opportunity for camping or beach trips with loved ones is something that always brings me great happiness!
