You need to talk to someone. You're in a stressful place in your life. Not only is your desire for clarity and comfort at its peak but your need to find the right therapist is a leap of faith. Seeing me, you may find our sessions to be empowering, challenging, yet comfortable, and at times humorous. You can become energized by the unfolding of your story, and gaining new insights into your thoughts and feelings that no longer work for you. Are you having difficulties adjusting to life with a mental health disorder

or struggling to make sense of a traumatic experience?

 

My name is Katrin, and I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor. Over a decade ago, I started my career in the mental health field as a Residential Counselor and then as a lead Transitional-Age Youth Counselor. I am now a practicing therapist with You First Health Systems and a research associate for Dr. Robert M. Post, MD, at the Bipolar Collaborative Network.

 

I specialize in mood disorders, psychosis, trauma/PTSD, and borderline personality disorder. I integrate current research into my work to provide the most informed treatment modalities to my clients. I am one of the few clinicians in the U.S. trained in Family-Focused Therapy (FFT) for Bipolar Disorder, and Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) for Bipolar Disorder. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBT-P) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for Borderline Personality Disorder. I also utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression.

 

I am dedicated to ongoing education and training to enhance my expertise and provide the highest level of care for my clients. Recognizing each client’s individuality, I take an eclectic approach to treatment, tailoring methods that best meet each of my client's unique needs.

 

Even when it feels like you’re alone, you don’t have to face this journey by yourself. As your therapist, I’m here to help you navigate the loneliness and fear that often come with these disorders and traumatic experiences. Together, we will work to build your confidence and resilience so you can regain control of your life.

 

I look forward to working with you.​
