Katy works from a person-centered and strengths-based approach, while utilizing a variety of therapeutic modalities including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques.
Katy’s approach is focused on empathy and understanding, ensuring that each client feels valued and supported. Areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, personal development, neurodiversity, academic struggles, LGBTQIA+, interpersonal difficulties, body image and disordered eating, life transitions, self-esteem, and social skills. She enjoys working with ages 12+ in an individual setting. She offers both telehealth and in person services out of the Northfield location.
