Hello, my name is Katie and I am currently accepting new clients in Oregon. I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy, meaning I believe that the individual is the expert on their life. Working from this approach, I can incorporate other evidence-based therapies I am trained in. I want to empower you to recognize your strengths, be able to feel grounded in the present, and gain hope for the future. Some of my specialties include working with adults, adolescents 14 and older, couples, and I can treat anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, loss, ADHD, neurodiversity, spiritual abuse recovery, and chronic pain/illness. I have training in therapies including DBT, MI, CBT, ACT, Gottman for couples, and EMDR. My primary goal is to collaborate with you on deepening your understanding of how you came to where you are now, and assist you in increasing your range of emotional/cognitive skills to challenge ideas, beliefs, and patterns. I foster a safe and trusting environment through learning and listening rather than applying a symptom based formula to treatment.
