Welcome!
Reaching out can be a vulnerable process and takes courage. I am glad you are here.
I offer a warm and compassionate presence that helps clients address painful areas in their life related to stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
​
I am a firm believer that therapy can be a fun, dynamic, and illuminating process. The best investment you can ever make is one in yourself.
Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Hi, I’m Katie. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or the lingering impacts of trauma you might find yourself stuck in patterns of people-pleasing or disconnected from your own needs, I’m here to help you find relief and rediscover yourself. Together, we’ll explore the inner work that fosters self-compassion, untangle the roots of these challenges, and help you reconnect with your body’s natural ability to heal. This is a space where your healing journey will be supported with care and understanding.

About
I provide individual counseling services via telehealth to adults over 18 in Oregon and Washington.
My clients are exhausted, anxious, and often traumatized over-givers. They think about everyone else before themselves and find it nearly impossible to say no. They are afraid of conflict and they are ruled by guilt.
My clients often describe a disconnect between their rational mind, emotional mind, and body. Together we can bring them into alignment for greater balance, healing, and self awareness.
"I feel like I can never say no without feeling guilty."
"I don't even know what I want anymore."
"I feel like I have to be perfect otherwise people will stop loving me."
Feeling trapped by these patterns can be confusing and painful.
Together, we will explore the parts of you that feel stuck and gently work to release the pain they carry. This process will help you feel safer in identifying your own needs, honoring the wisdom of your body, and creating meaningful change—both in your relationship with yourself and with others.​
​
If you have tried traditional talk therapy and have been frustrated that you are not making progress because you are just talking about how your week went, I might be the right fit for you.
Through our work together you will be empowered with real tools that you can use immediately to start feeling better now.
You will be able to understand why you are taken over by strong emotions and work directly with them in order to release old burdens.
You will be able to attend to the root of what is driving your pain and release old beliefs that no longer serve you.
You will have more room in your life to enjoy your relationships with others while developing a healthier and more nourishing relationship with yourself.

Social justice statement: The negative impact of racism, prejudice, discrimination, and oppression on mental health is generationally profound. I recognize the need to do my own work in acknowledging racism, my own privilege, and to continuously educate myself on systems of oppression and the negative impacts they cause. I welcome people from all backgrounds and strive to create a safe and welcoming space. I also welcome conversations about race, discrimination, privilege, and power as part of the therapy process.
