Hi there! My name is Katie and I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I graduated from The Ohio State University with my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2018 and since then have worked in virtual, home-based, clinical and hospital settings. I have provided services including individual therapy, family therapy, child therapy and case management.
I am a firm believer that you already have what it takes to heal and live a bright, fulfilling life, and I am here to simply guide you along this journey of self-realization and self-love. I have training in Trauma-Focused and traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, where I can assist you in recognizing negative patterns of thinking and behaving while also focusing on past trauma, if necessary. Additionally, I have vast experience working with children and thoroughly enjoy engaging with little ones. We may choose to incorporate mindfulness and self-expression in other ways such as art and journaling during our sessions, too. I am able to walk alongside you through many issues you may be facing, and I have extensive experience working with those facing anxiety, depression, gender identity questions, chronic illness, epilepsy/psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with children and school-aged children, adults 18+, and LGBTQ folks. I welcome people from all different backgrounds, races, sexual identities, sexual orientations, faiths, and life experiences.
Whether you have been to therapy before or this is your first time, I commend you for having the courage to reflect and discuss topics that may be difficult for you. It is my belief that the root of a positive therapeutic experience is the development of trust between you and me; therefore, I will always welcome the most authentic version of you in our sessions and will encourage you to be true to yourself and your values. In return, I will bring my authentic self to our sessions, as well. As we build upon this trust, I will allow you to guide our sessions while offering validation, acceptance, humor, and loving confrontation.
When I am not at work, you can likely find me bopping around Cleveland or the country, petting a dog, or hanging with my friends, fiancé or family. I’m also an Aunt, so you will likely catch me FaceTiming or visiting my sweet nieces, Olivia and Ariana in Michigan! My hobbies include drawing and painting, singing, thrifting, and watching movies and TV. Give us a call — I am so excited to work with you!
