Hi! I’m Katie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSW-A) practicing in Charlotte, NC. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in various settings, including in-office, schools, telehealth, and groups, and I specialize in areas such as depression, anxiety, trauma, disordered eating, body image, grief, ADHD, and working with the LGBTQ+ community. I currently offer both in-person and virtual therapy. My approach to therapy is based on an empowerment framework, meaning that I truly believe that you are the expert of you, and I am here to collaborate with you on your journey. I practice from a HAES-aligned, empowerment framework with the core belief that everyone has strengths and can improve their lives with the right resources and opportunities. Together, we'll work to create goals, process feelings, identify thought patterns, reflect on values, and develop regulation skills to make sustainable, meaningful change. My goal is to create an authentic therapeutic experience for my clients, and I use empathy, humor, and advocacy to achieve that. If I seem like a good fit for you or your teen, please reach out, I would be honored to be a part of your therapy journey.
