Morning Appointments

For 20 years, Katie has worked as a licensed art therapist who offers direct communication with a soft touch. Collaborating with clients to bring fresh perspective to recurrent patterns is Katie’s idea of a good time. No, seriously! Katie’s therapeutic approach is creative and collaborative, prioritizing mutual trust and respect. Sending clients home with practical strategies for coping is a regular practice. While artmaking is a touchstone in her work, Katie frequently employs skill-building, play, and mindfulness techniques with clients. Laughter and humor are always encouraged, but frank, difficult conversations matter, too. It is critical that clients feel they can be fully themselves in session. Katie has 20 years of experience working with diverse and marginalized communities and welcomes LGBTQIA+ folks.

This picture is something that matters to me

This painting represents the overwhelm of difficult thoughts and feelings. Parts are murky and tangled up. With support and trust, we can work toward a clearer understanding of our experiences. That murkiness is simply a part of the bigger picture. Look closely: there is growth there, too!
