My initial perspective was that she would be a very open minded and understanding person, obviously my focus was for anxiety and that was listed as one of her top specialties. She also seems to align with my energy and world views, which I think is important. Just from her bio I could tell that she is excited, invested, and positive, which I think we all need! It turns out she is all I thought she would be and even more so. I'm very glad to have Katie as my therapist.
