More about Katie

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

Hello! My name is Katie and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I have been working with children, adults, and families for over 15 years.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, located on the central California coast. After working with foster children, I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to pursue a graduate degree in Counseling from Cal State East Bay, which I received in 2009.

My clinical focus is helping clients find solution to live a happier life. Change and conflict is unavoidable, unfortunately. Sometimes the difficulty can be overwhelming, and we can’t get a handling it. That’s when therapy can help clients find their own strength, supports, and solutions to lead a happier life while managing the ups and downs of life.

To achieve these goals, I use a variety of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Positive Psychology. Depending on your goals, I find the best approach or a blend of approaches to achieve the most ideal outcome: helping you feel happier and healthier on a daily basis.

Outside of my time as a Therapist, I enjoys going on walks, going to the movies, taking my toddler to the park, binge watching Netflix, and going on shopping trips to Target.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
