About Katie

My areas of focus are Trauma/PTSD, Anxiety, Grief, Depression, Personality Disorders, Substance Use/Chemical Dependency, Relationships and Communication, Behavior Modification and Co-Dependency.

I have also been trained as a Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) member. CISM members are trained, highly qualified professionals who interact with the emergency services community to mitigate the stress and trauma effects before, during, and after critical incidents in our community.

I am licensed to practice in New York State and the Commonwealth of Virginia. I offer a secure online portal for chat, video, and phone counseling. A counseling appointment is only a press of the button away. You can contact me by phone, email, or on my Facebook page to a set up an appointment and begin your transformation today!

My Story

I was born and raised in Upstate New York. After graduating high school and obtaining my AA degree, I moved to sunny San Diego, California. I enjoyed the warm weather and the ocean, but life happened and in 2007 I moved back to the East Coast to Virginia Beach, VA. I completed my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Regent University and opened up my first practice as a therapist in 2015. I moved back to Upstate New York in 2018. I am very excited to be out of the heat and humidity.

I have a passion and enthusiasm for guiding clients through the journey of finding balance and happiness in their life through solutions-based therapy. I have had the privilege of working with Active Duty military, Veterans and First Responders for over 6 years through my work as a Mental Health Evaluator with the Tidewater Critical Incident Stress Management team and as a military spouse of 16 years. I know how stress, anxiety, and the unknown can affect a person and their family. Let's chat and see how I can help you.
