Hi! My name is Katie, and I am a Licensed Masters Social Worker and a Board Certified Music Therapist. I have a Masters in Social Work from the University of Northern Iowa and a Bachelor's degree in Music Therapy from the University of Iowa.

  • At the main office and I offer telehealth for those clients who its appropriate for.

  • I use a trauma informed approach that impacts how I see each case. I emphasize emotion focused techniques because I believe that all emotions give us information about the good reasons why we do the things we do (and how we can get stuck). I see many of the challenges that come up through an attachment lens, which means that we are designed to connect with ourselves and those around us and that is the driving force to create change.

    I enjoy using humor and understanding as I offer support to make progress toward your goals. I believe that healing and change is possible and it is an honor to be a part of that process for you.
