about katie

(she/her/hers)

I welcome clients aged 16+ of all backgrounds regardless of race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender expression or identification, religion or faith. My specialty clinical interests include working with adolescents and adults facing symptoms of depression and mood disruptions, various forms of anxiety, obsessive compulsive behaviors and post-traumatic stress, along with reduced or distorted self-perceptions, various forms of adjustment, grief and loss, relationship issues and identity development.

A passion of my practice is offering sports-related therapy with student-athletes in eastern Iowa. Click here to read more about sport-related therapy services.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy in addition to mindfulness-based and somatic approaches.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in the state of Iowa; a Licensed Certified Social Worker in the state of South Dakota; and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Minnesota. I graduated with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Iowa; earned a Bachelor's in Psychology, minor in Family Studies from the University of Northern Iowa; and an Associate of Arts degree from Waldorf College where I played women's basketball. 

I’m a member of the National Association of Social Workers and the Alliance of Social Workers in Sport.
