Hellllllo lovely humans! I’m Katie, though most folks know me by Kaitlin, and I am a goofy, passionate, big-feeling person who loves to crack a dark joke and a swear word (or 10). Some things I’ve embraced about myself over the years are my queerness, my weirdness, and my absolute hatred of tradition in all forms. My drive for this work stems from my love of supporting folks with the challenging, unpredictable, chaotic stuff that goes on in our lives. I think there is a beauty in being messy and imperfect, so while of course I want to help you make the hard moments a little less hard, I also want to help you accept that the big feelings we navigate are a necessary and wonderful part of being human. As a therapist, I try to always show up as a person first, not a stuffy clinician—and this might come along with some challenging pokes and prods as we work through the stuff that you’re struggling with. It’s a lot of hand-talking, a lot of sarcasm, and a lot of balancing gentle and tender care with confronting the tough stuff.

I have a wicked right cross, prefer dogs over people, I’ve solo travelled to Peru, am the proud owner of a snake named Marshall and a 17-yo dog named Lucy, and change my hair colour every 6 months to feel in control of my life 😅
