About Me
Hi, I’m Katie, a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision designation (LISW-S) and more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments. My background includes working in behavioral health, crisis intervention, inpatient mental health, emergency services, and clinical leadership.
I believe therapy should feel like a safe, judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without feeling like you have to have everything figured out. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I’ll meet you where you are and work with you to better understand what’s getting in the way of feeling like yourself.
I have experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem, trauma, crisis situations, and the many emotional challenges that can come with major changes in life. I also enjoy helping people navigate feeling overwhelmed, setting boundaries, improving communication, and finding healthier ways to cope.
As a therapist, I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from different evidence-based approaches and tailor therapy to your individual needs, goals, personality, and circumstances. I want our work together to be practical and meaningful-not simply talking about problems, but helping you develop tools and insight that you can actually use in your everyday life.
Whether you’re struggling with something that has been weighing on you for years or you’re simply feeling overwhelmed by what life is asking of you right now, you don’t have to navigate it alone. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered as you work toward the life you want.
My Approach
My style is supportive, conversational, and genuine. I’ll provide a safe space to talk openly while also challenging you when appropriate and helping you identify patterns, strengths, and practical steps forward. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you-not judge you or tell you how you “should” live.
Who I Work With
I enjoy working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, life transitions, burnout, and other challenges that can make everyday life feel overwhelming.
If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to work with you.

03 · What happens next
Katie practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Katie's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Katie at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Katie is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Katie.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

Katie's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 6 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Katie. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
