CONGRATULATIONS ON TAKING THE FIRST STEPS ON YOUR PATH OF HEALING AND GROWTH!

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.

Hi, I’m Katie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an office in Walnut Creek, CA, proudly serving couples and individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area and by video for anyone in the state of California. The individuals I work with are looking for meaningful change in their life, not just symptom management. Most of my clients are working on issues related to self worth and limiting beliefs about themselves they have been holding on to since childhood. These limitations are manifested in feelings and experiences of anxiety, depression, CPTSD, trauma, self doubt, procrastination and low motivation, or even illness. And my couples therapy work involves couples who are looking for help with emotional communication skills in order to rebuild a sense of togetherness and letting go defensiveness and conflict in the relationship.

I specialize in using somatic (body based) education and interventions, enneagram, and existential exploration to treat common challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma & PTSD, low self esteem/compassion, attachment trauma, coping with chronic illness, and relationship issues. My approach is incredibly warm and personable, as I find that most people respond better to a therapist that shows their humanity rather than keeps themselves separate and detached. As a holistic therapist, my way is to honor the whole experience of my clients in body, mind, and heart, and support clients in developing a genuine care and curiosity for themselves and their partners when working with couples. Through this gentle attunement to the self comes the healing and change you have been so longing for. If you are ready to see and experience yourself and your relationship differently, then I am ready to be a skilled and loving witness to your growth!
