I began working with Katie about a year ago when I first started experiencing a state of anxiety that was totally new to me. By the time I got to Katie, I was pretty desperate and was having severe panic attacks, multiple times a day, I was barely able to function. I lost trust in others and it seemed like nobody felt safe to me to confide in. Her style of communication really worked for me. She was compassionate and empathetic, while being empowering and encouraging. She seemed to be one of the few people who really understood. That being said, I was also looking for results. Meaning, I didn’t want to stay in that place; I needed tools and support to help myself keep going. She provided all of that and it’s not a stretch to say she saved my life.

Katie helped me understand the nervous system, what it means to be dysregulated and regulated and everything in between. She boiled it down for me in a way that I could understand logically even though I was finding it really challenging to make sense of my own feelings. She taught me how to process my emotions and have compassion for myself. I’ve learned these things in therapy over the years, but it wasn’t until I worked with Katie that I was actually able to apply them and make sense of them.

I would recommend listening to, investing in, soaking up any information you can with Katie. Her authenticity, understanding of trauma and coaching style has been life changing for me. Kendra J.

I began working with Katie last year when I was navigating a lot of change in my career. While I was really excited about the new opportunities, I also recognized lingering anxiety. As a coach myself, I knew this created an opportunity for me to lean into self-awareness and explore the root cause of this anxiety. Through my work with Katie, I have gained a deeper understanding of the nervous system and how my quick, oftentimes unwanted, reactions to situations stem from dysregulation. Katie did an amazing job creating space for me to explore the genesis of my triggers and providing practical tools to work through them. If you are looking to enhance your self-awareness and challenge old belief systems, Katie is the right person to lead you down that path. Her ability to care deeply and challenge directly creates a positive environment to do amazing work. Jeremy M.

Working with Katie has been life changing.  After going through years of therapy and living most of my adult life on antidepressants without any improvement or end in sight, I decided it was time to do something different.  After working with Katie, I finally made progress!  She helped me realize that I’m not broken, I was living in a dysregulated state nearly all the time.  I began building knowledge and awareness of my nervous system and learned how to better recognize when I would transition from regulated to dysregulated.  I’ve learned what I need to bring myself back to a regulated state.  I finally feel confident that I have the skills needed to remain free from medications for the second half of my life.  I’m forever grateful to Katie for sharing her knowledge, her compassionate yet direct approach in supporting me!
