You matter.

Hi. I’m Katie.

As a somatic psychotherapist, I’ve been described as compassionate and caring, a Light-Seeker and a Space Holder.

People who enjoy working with me appreciate conversations that allow for curiosity, self-reflection, and deep listening.

We work together to build new neurology, new ways of relating, and new ways of experiencing yourself in the world, helping you live more freely and abundantly.

My approach

Dignity-centered.

Compassion-focused.

Strength-based.

Competency-building.
