Katie aims to create a safe and comfortable space where clients can begin to feel curious about their thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and behaviors. She aims to assist clients with learning more about themselves, their goals, their relationships and how they see themselves as a person in the world. Katie wants to offer clients a place where they can feel safely supported, nurtured and at times challenged. She considers herself an intersectional feminist, social activist as well as a psychotherapist and often examines with clients how oppressive systems in their environment connect with their sense of self and well-being.
