Hi my name is Katie and it is nice to meet you!  I am a Clinical Social Work Associate (CSWA) in Oregon and a Licensed Social Work Associate Independent Clinician (LSWAIC) in WA and I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Boise State University. I have served in the field for 12 years and welcome populations of all demographics, ethnicities and cultures. I specialize in working with those who demonstrate complex traumas, PTSD, addiction, grief and loss, self-harm, abuse, depression and anxiety.

I draw from a wide-range of evidence-based treatments including, but not limited to, psychodynamic therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. My previous employment has included being a school counselor, and I truly have a passion for working with preteens, teens, and adults, including individuals, couples and families.

I believe I am person-centered and strength-based at heart, providing authenticity, empathy and positive regard for her clients. My goal is to holistically meet clients where they are and tangibly walk beside them on their journeys of healing and self-empowerment.
