“I’m glad you’re here. Welcome. My work is inspired by the clients I serve - their individuality, hopes and dreams, imaginations, and struggles. I have been working to make my services more accessible and effective for the people who need them most. Online appointments are an effective way of doing that. I’ve also developed a line of fun therapeutic activity books that families can use on their own to help kids develop emotional intelligence and balance, coping skills, and resilience. Together, we can make positive change.” — Dr. Katie
