About Katie
I am a psychotherapist and clinical trauma specialist, trained to assist and guide you in the transformation from suffering to healing, from despair to empowerment.
I have great respect for anyone willing to acknowledge the need for further personal development and will honor your commitment to self-exploration with professionalism and individual attention. Your sessions are conducted in a peaceful, nurturing, confidential environment, conducive to your comfort level.
I place a high priority on emotional and personal safety and will ensure that the content, focus, and pace of your sessions is determined by you.
