Background and approach
Katie uses approaches suited to trauma and emotional regulation, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and trauma-focused work. She explains methods plainly and adapts them to what a person finds helpful. Treatment plans are shaped around goals the person wants to reach rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
Her background includes transpersonal counseling, which can bring a person's spiritual beliefs into the work if they want that. Katie also supports people dealing with blended family stress, caregiver burnout, dissociation, impulsivity, intellectual disability concerns, panic, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, traumatic brain injury, and challenges common to young adults.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Katie aims to make therapy practical and accessible so people can build steady skills and notice real shifts over time.
