Katie is accepting new clients and has immediate openings available.

Supporting individuals as they explore what it means to grow, connect, and be fully themselves—especially in a world that doesn’t always make that easy—is at the heart of my work. My approach is grounded in curiosity, creativity, and deep respect for each person’s unique story.

I work with clients across the lifespan and with various presenting concerns such as ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, and general stress management. I have specialized experience with children, families, and school-related concerns. With nearly a decade of experience, I’ve worked as a school social worker and in psychiatric residential care, supporting children in settings such as early intervention, daycare, preschool, and schools. My clinical work is informed by AutPlay® Therapy, a neurodiversity-affirming, play-based model, along with other evidence-based approaches suitable for children and adults of all ages. I tailor sessions to each client’s strengths, needs, and natural ways of engaging. 

I practice from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective, viewing disability and mental health challenges as natural and meaningful parts of the human experience—not problems to be fixed. At the same time, I recognize that mental health is shaped by biology, relationships, environment, and systems. I help individuals and families make sense of these complex factors through individualized care, compassion, and collaboration.

Above all, I want individuals and families to feel seen, supported, and empowered as they grow into their most authentic selves.

When I’m not working, I enjoy walking my dogs, spending time in my garden with my chickens, propagating houseplants, and thrifting. I’m inspired by how the things we give our attention to can grow and flourish—even from the smallest or most overlooked pieces—and I bring that same care and patience to my work.

Katie accepts Wellmark, UnitedHealthCare, and private pay.
