I don’t think I would have been able to navigate the last two years without Katie. Our relationship gave me support, humor, healing and helped me get through COVID in one piece.

I very much respect that Katie has a non-pathologizing approach believing that there are strengths as well as challenges and deficits that come with a neurodiverse diagnosis and she works on helping her clients leverage the strengths as well as navigate the challenges. I believe that Katie has a fierce and tender style. She is fierce in her support of clients, she is tender in holding her clients in their struggles. If I had a dear friend or family member struggling with the challenges of neurodiversity, I would feel so good referring them to Katie, knowing that they would be in good, competent, compassionate hands.

Katie has been an avid listener for as long as I’ve known her. When in her element, Katie makes suggestions that make me look at something from a different angle and always has thought-provoking questions. She can be blunt, but it is usually done with a smile and it usually helps me feel more grounded. Katie goes beyond “active listening” and will often remark on my experience with a response that shows how human she is, too, sharing tidbits from her personal life lessons to validate my imperfect human existence.

Katie saw me in a way that no one else did and with her help I got psych tested, diagnosed with ADHD, stable on medication and adopted a puppy. I have a good relationship with my family. I didn’t know life could feel this stable or good

I’ve always know Katie to be a careful listener. She approaches me with curiosity, and responds with compassion.
