Katie believes that people are so close to their own life’s challenges and stressors that they often miss what is right in front of them. Therapy provides an opportunity to step back and regain perspective. Through therapy, Katie holds a supportive and nonjudgmental space for you to speak your truth and look at things in a different way.

She will point out and empower you to use your strengths to your advantage. Finally, she will sprinkle in some humor, swear words, and quote The Office because laughter is important.

Katie has experience working with teens and adults dealing with a wide array of challenges, and believes that each individual is the sum of many parts and that a disorder is just one of those parts. She has been trained in a myriad of modalities, including CBT and psychodynamic therapy, and will collaborate with you to figure out which ones best suit your needs.

Katie has a BS in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago and an MSW from Wayne State University. She works with people ages 12 and older out of the Ferndale and Detroit offices.
