Testimonials:

“My family turned to Katie after a traumatic event. While the focus was on my tween, my husband and I also had sessions and received support. We started once weekly, eventually tapering to biweekly, then monthly sessions. We met first in person then transitioned to video calls once the connection was made and my daughter was comfortable. Katie introduced different methods and tools of therapy including outdoor walks, games, music, meditation, dance, art, and her two wonderful papillons. We are grateful for the almost year and a half (2022-2023) Katie worked with our family and highly recommend her.”
