Hi.
I’m Katelyn. I understand what it’s like to be a highly sensitive person in a society that is designed to put profits over people.
My practice focuses, with a social justice lens, towards the goal of defusing societal values and expectations that oppress individuals and communities. My work with individuals is based in dialectics. Specifically, holding the dialectics of acceptance and change through the framework of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
I help clients learn strategies to do the most with what is in their control and give themselves permission to release obligation from what is not. We do this through emphasis on effectiveness, and nonjudgment to help you embrace yourself holistically, while holding space for both growth and rest throughout life’s many seasons.
I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the sacred space that is built through mutual trust.
Do you ever feel stuck, or caught up between opposing thoughts, emotions, or values? Do you experience emotions that seem overwhelming and/or out of control? Do you feel trapped by judgments or the expectations of others?
I can help you sort through and evaluate what matters most to you; by uncovering or strengthening your own inner wisdom so that you can live in alignment with it. This includes setting and maintaining healthy boundaries in relationships, coping with stress, managing crisis situations and planning ahead to decrease suffering in the future.
