About Katie

I help clients work through the heavy, ongoing, unexpected mountains. We discuss the thoughts, feelings, and physical symptoms that will not go away on their own and somehow keep showing up during inconvenient times,  convincing you to believe differently about yourself and what you are going through. The weight of it all disrupts your day, week, and month. We discuss unhelpful thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors, difficulties with interpersonal relationships, challenges with how you see yourself, your physical body, and current circumstances. We explore trauma while also learning how to regulate emotions and be more compassionate with yourself.

In each session, you are exploring and learning to sit with emotions, while uncovering parts of yourself that have not been addressed for years, or perhaps at all. The therapist is a supportive guide to help the client determine their path forward. Additionally, by combining art therapy directives and traditional talk therapy, clients are provided with more than one tool to seek awareness and clarification of their presenting issues and challenges.

I am a graduate of Columbia College Chicago, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Photography. I attended graduate school at Adler University, where I received my Master's in Counseling Psychology: Art Therapy.  My personal interests include documentaries, collecting records, going to yoga, and spending time at the lake in the summer months.
