Experienced in helping you take the next step toward real change.
I am an English-speaking counselor with experience facilitating Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in both group and individual treatment settings. I have studied, lived, and worked abroad. I have experience with individual and group coaching and consulting. I believe change allows us to become alive, live with fierce strength, and be our radical selves.
I know it often can feel like “this isn’t me, this isn’t how I want to show up for myself , my family, friends, or even my work, but I have also tried so many things and it just hasn’t worked.”
Hello, I’m Katie.
I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and over 8 years of experience seeing and helping people in healthcare and outpatient clinical settings. I have training in DBT and am also a published researcher in the field of mental and behavioral health.
I have worked with many clients in complex situations, as well as those with clear and straightforward goals. I have found that often my clients are smart and able to function at fairly high levels – though they often feel that if others really knew what they felt inside, those other persons would be completely surprised. Many of my clients are going through a rough spot, some are looking to give purpose and meaning to their lives.
In addition to my training and experience, I have firsthand experience studying, living, and working abroad. Your journey abroad can be exciting, and difficult, and a period of adjustment. Navigating systems and cultures takes time and energy, and support during the process can be an important piece in a successful transition to a new location.
I work with both individuals and couples, conducting our sessions together through an online platform.
My specialty
You are…
You are fiercely strong – or were – or want to be. But at the moment you are dealing with stressful situations or perhaps even struggling to manage the things you need to do to keep afloat. You are competent, yet seek more meaning in your life than you currently feel, and want to work with someone to accomplish your goals and develop new skills. Maybe it’s time to work through those relationship challenges, to work through anxiety or depression, or do inner work to reconnect with or become more yourself. You may be working as a professional who live and work across more than one cultural reality such as leaders in global organizations, diplomates/partners of global workers. You may be studying and living abroad, seeking to deal with things that are surfacing or hoping to make the most of your time abroad. You may be looking to gain skills & insight into patterns that just don’t work as an individual or in your relationships.
