Dr. Katie’s Philosophy

As a clinically trained child and adolescent psychologist, I believe that every child and teen has the capacity for growth, healing, and resilience. My goal is to support young people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or other mental health challenges but also to help them discover their strengths, build confidence, and learn skills that last well beyond therapy.

I take a compassionate, collaborative approach, meeting each child and family where they are. I believe that lasting change happens when kids feel understood, supported, and empowered to take small, meaningful steps forward. Therapy should be a safe space where young people can express themselves freely, develop coping tools, and begin to trust their own ability to navigate life’s ups and downs.

Ultimately, my work is about helping children and teens not just feel better, but feel stronger. I want every client to leave therapy with a deeper sense of who they are, more self-compassion, and the confidence to face challenges with courage and resilience.
