Great to meet you!

Twelve years in some of the hardest rooms (hospice, inpatient psych, medical wards) taught me that healing starts when someone finally feels heard. I'm Katie, a licensed clinical social worker, who brings that same steadiness and warmth to telehealth therapy. Whether you're navigating grief, a health challenge, substance use, or something harder to name, I would be glad to be in your corner. I earned my MSW from the University of Denver and have worked across behavioral health, case management, and end-of-life care throughout my career.

My approach to therapy

I am committed to providing compassionate, client-centered support and helping individuals navigate complex emotional, behavioral, medical, and social challenges. I utilize an eclectic approach pulling from various modalities and focusing on the mind-body connection.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a real conversation, not an evaluation. I will ask what brought you here and what feels most important right now. We move at your pace, and there is no pressure to have it all figured out. By the time we finish, you should feel less alone with whatever you are carrying, and have a clearer sense of what we will work on together.
