Dr. Katie Psychology
LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST
Areas of Specialization
You deserve care from a clinician who is experienced and attuned to your specific concerns. Below are the areas I specialize in. I work with adults (18+) via secure telehealth.

Food & Body Concerns
I specialize in treating a wide range of concerns related to food, body image, and disordered eating.
-
Chronic yo-yo dieting
-
Implementing sustainable health behavior changes using evidence-based tools
-
Eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and OSFED
-
Athletes & sport identity and behavior
-
Poor body image
In our work together, we will figure out 1) your goals, and 2) what thoughts, feelings, urges, and biological mechanisms are getting in the way of you meeting your goals. I'll help you develop the tools to not be "bossed around" by your thoughts, feelings, and urges, but to make values-based decisions that support your health, wellbeing, and goals.
Self-Esteem
Struggles with self-esteem can show up in subtle and not-so-subtle ways:
-
perfectionism
-
people-pleasing
-
harsh self-criticism
-
feeling like you’re “never enough.”
If you carry a persistent sense of not measuring up, I want you to know: you are not alone, and you don’t have to keep living under the weight of that story. I help clients explore the roots of low self-worth and develop a more grounded, compassionate relationship with themselves.
Trauma & Stressful Life Experiences
Safety is the foundation of healing. If you’ve experienced emotional or physical harm- whether from abuse, loss, or other difficult life events, I’m here to help you process and move forward. I work with:
-
PTSD and Complex PTSD
-
Emotional, physical, spiritual, religious, or sexual abuse
-
Long-term effects of traumatic or invalidating experiences
My goal is to help you rebuild a sense of safety, self-trust, and inner calm.
Depression
Sadness is a natural human emotion; but, when it becomes persistent, heavy, or hopeless, it’s time for support. I work with individuals navigating:
-
Major depressive disorder
-
Chronic feelings of shame
-
Pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)
You deserve a life that feels meaningful and connected, even when things feel dark.
Anxiety
Anxiety and fear are part of our survival system, and sometimes that system becomes overactive and overwhelming. I help clients understand and calm these responses so they can regain a sense of ease and agency. I work with:
-
Generalized anxiety
-
Social anxiety and phobias
-
Panic attacks
-
Health anxiety
-
Select presentations of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
We’ll work together to help you understand what your anxiety is trying to tell you and how to respond in ways that support your growth.
Relationship Concerns
Our relationships- whether romantic, familial, or platonic- play a central role in our emotional well-being. But they can also be sources of deep pain, confusion, or anxiety. I help clients explore relationship patterns, improve communication, and build more secure, meaningful connections with others and with themselves.
You might be:
-
Struggling with people-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries
-
Caught in repeated relational patterns that leave you feeling unseen or unfulfilled
-
Processing a breakup, betrayal, or loss of connection
-
Trying to strengthen a current relationship while also healing old wounds
Together, we’ll untangle what's no longer serving you and build relationships rooted in mutual respect, authenticity, and care.
Life Transitions and Identity
Life transitions- whether chosen or unexpected- can leave us feeling disoriented, uncertain, or overwhelmed. Even positive changes can bring up grief, anxiety, or questions about identity. I provide support during these in-between moments, helping you make sense of where you are and envision where you want to go.
Common transitions I work with include:
-
Career changes or professional burnout
-
Shifts in identity, values, or long-held goals
-
Entering or exiting relationships, including marriage or divorce
Together, we’ll process what you’re leaving behind, clarify what matters to you now, and help you step into the next chapter with confidence and self-compassion.
