Hello, my name is Katie and I am a licensed therapist in both California and Illinois. I received my Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have 13 years experience working with youth, adults, families and couples in a variety of settings. I welcome you to reach out to me with any questions you may have before getting started.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, I will encourage you to share about yourself at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I also will welcome you to ask me any questions that allow you to get to know me and what to expect in our work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide a warm, relaxed and non-judgemental therapeutic setting to allow individuals to be seen and heard.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy supporting kids, teens and adults who are ready to step in to a phase of self growth and exploration.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use the method of CBT with clients to help explore their thoughts, beliefs and attitudes and how effect your feelings and actions.
Humanistic
I use this approach to provide a safe and non-judgemental space to allow you to increase understanding and awareness of yourself and in relationship to others.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I provide mindfulness exercises such as meditation and guided imagery to allow you to calm the nervous system, detach from overwhelming thoughts and cultivate a more positive outlook.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
For clients that are looking for shorter term work, I have experience with using Solution-Focused Therapy in order to help you set concrete goals for yourself and build positive momentum toward those goals.
