Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. You might be carrying anxiety, past trauma, or the quiet exhaustion that comes from carrying too much for too long. Therapy offers a space to pause, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Hi, I’m Katie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Washington State. I’m passionate about helping people break generational cycles for themselves and their families.

In my practice, I aim to create a thoughtful, supportive space where you can explore difficult experiences at your own pace. My work is grounded in an anti-oppressive and intersectionally feminist approach, recognizing the ways systems and lived experiences shape mental health.

Outside of my therapy practice, I teach clinical social work courses at the University of Washington in Tacoma and Seattle.

  • I offer in-person sessions in Tacoma’s Stadium District on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and virtual sessions on Mondays and Thursdays. From May through early September, I typically see clients Tuesday through Thursday, with Thursdays offered virtually.

  • The first step is filling out the contact form. From there, we’ll schedule a brief phone consultation to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and see if we might be a good fit.

  • I accept First Choice, Kaiser PPO, and Premera insurance. I bill in-network insurances directly, and you are responsible for your deductible, co-insurance or co-pay at time of service.

    Many insurance plans reimburse for out-of-network providers. I can provide super-bills, which you can submit to your insurance after time of payment for reimbursement.

  • Most clients begin with weekly sessions. As therapy progresses, we may adjust the frequency depending on your needs and goals.

    • Initial Assessments: $200

    • Individual 45 minute sessions (90834): $165

    • Individual 55 minute sessions (90837): $180

    • Kindly cancel any session 48 hours in advance. Sessions cancelled within 48 hours and/or no shows will be charged the full session fee.
