"Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change." -Brene Brown

"Sometimes I get so anxious it feels like a weight is sitting on my chest.”

"My intrusive thoughts are so loud and disturbing that I can't focus on anything else."

"After my narcissistic relationship ended, I felt free and completely broken at the same time."

These thoughts can be debilitating and my hope is to create a space where acceptance, validation, and understanding serve as the foundation for healing and growth. My journey is fueled by a passion to support individuals facing an array of challenges.


I see you and Im here for you.

 
 

My Therapeutic Approach

I firmly believe that every person's experience is valid and deserving of acknowledgement. I'm here to walk alongside you, offering a compassionate and empathetic space where your unique journey is not only heard but genuinely understood. Through this shared understanding, we can collaboratively explore and navigate the complexities of your emotions, thoughts, and experiences.

Recognizing the diversity within mental health, I am particularly committed to creating an inclusive and affirming environment for all cultural identities. Your identity matters, and I'm here to provide support that respects and embraces the uniqueness of who you are.

In my counseling toolkit, you'll find an integration of techniques inspired by evidence-based theories. Drawing from the principles of rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), I work with you to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, fostering positive changes in behavior and perspective. Additionally, I incorporate the strengths-focused approaches of solution-focused and narrative therapy, empowering you to tap into your resilience and rewrite empowering narratives for your life.

Grounded in reality therapy and choice theory, our sessions become a collaborative journey toward self-discovery and personal agency. Together, we explore the choices available to you and work towards a proactive mindset that facilitates transformative change.


More about me:

Hi there! I'm Katie, originally a California native who has found a new home amidst the beautiful landscapes of Fort Collins, Colorado. Growing up, I developed a passion for mental health, leading me to pursue my undergraduate degree in Psychology from National University and now a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University.

Outside the counseling room, you'll likely find me immersed in various activities like hitting the gym, watching thought-provoking movies, hiking Colorado’s trails, or spending time with friends and family.

I look forward to the privilege of being part of your support system, helping you navigate challenges, celebrate victories, and discover the strength within.
