about katie

(she/her/hers)

Are you seeking to enhance personal growth in the various dimensions of your life? Let's work collaboratively to determine what's keeping you from your truest self. Together we will build strategies to improve emotional identification & regulation, soothing & reducing anxiety, mood stabilization, value-aligned decision making, cultivating a clearer view of self and repair & improve relationships. My approach is compassion centered using evidence based approaches including trauma focused CBT, DBT, CPT, ERP, mindfulness-based and somatic therapies and others.

Specialty areas include working with symptoms of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, maladapative perfectionism, burnout, OCD, disordered eating, identity development and concerns faced by current and former athletes and student-athletes.

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.
