Hi, I’m Katie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Walnut Creek, CA, working with adults throughout California and Utah.

I work with individuals who are thoughtful and self-aware, but find themselves stuck in patterns that continue to show up in their relationships, self-worth, or emotional life. Many of my clients understand why they think or feel the way they do, but that insight hasn’t translated into meaningful, lasting change.

My work focuses on identifying and shifting these patterns at their root. Together, we look at how they show up in real time, how you respond under stress, relate to others, and navigate your internal experience, so you can begin to respond differently, not just understand yourself better.

I integrate somatic awareness, relational work, and exploration of early experiences to understand how these patterns formed and how they continue to operate. This is an active, collaborative process designed to create real change, not just symptom relief. My style is warm, direct, and engaged. I bring both depth and practicality to the work.

If you’re looking for quick fixes or surface-level strategies, this may not be the right fit. If you value personal growth and are ready to actively engage in the work, we’ll likely work well together.
