Hi, I'm Katie!
Like you, I'm a soul on a journey of remembering; learning to live from the love, presence, and wisdom that exist beneath fear and conditioning.
At the deepest level, my work is about helping others do the same. I believe each of us arrives here carrying an innate wholeness — a capacity for love, creativity, joy, wisdom, and authentic expression that can become obscured by trauma, loss, fear, conditioning, and the many ways we learn to survive.
My work is helping people come home.
Home to their bodies. To their intuition and connection with spirit. To their creativity and aliveness. To the parts of themselves they learned to hide. To the quiet place within that remains steady beneath anxiety, self-doubt, striving, and survival.
Throughout my own life, I forgot, too.
I've known anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, depression, disordered eating and body image struggles, trauma, codependency, perfectionism, people-pleasing, insecure attachment, difficult family and relationship dynamics, and the deep exhaustion of searching outside myself for safety, certainty, and worth.
Over time, those experiences became some of my greatest teachers. I began asking different questions: What is this here to teach me? What is trying to emerge through me? What part of myself is asking to be reclaimed?
For over thirteen years, my path has also been shaped by my work as a psychotherapist. I've immersed myself in psychology, trauma, attachment, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, somatics, and evidence-based approaches to healing. I deeply value what psychology can teach us about how we became who we are. And yet, I have always sensed that a diagnosis, symptom, or psychological framework could never capture the fullness of a human being.
As my own healing deepened, so did my understanding of what it means to be human. I learned to inhabit my body, meet pain with compassion, loosen my grip on certainty, and become more available to mystery of life’s unfolding.
Then, during a therapeutic ketamine journey in April 2025, I experienced what I understood as a remembrance of a past life. Something opened. It felt as though a window had been gently wiped clean.
walking with you
on the path of remembering
A quiet hum I had sensed throughout my life became unmistakable. My intuition deepened. My mind grew quieter. I began experiencing life less as something to control and more as something to collaborate with. I felt increasingly connected to spirit and to a loving intelligence moving through and around all things.
I came to understand that psychology had helped me understand the psyche, while my own spiritual path was teaching me to listen to the soul. My work belonged at the meeting place of both.
Today, I understand my purpose as helping people remember.
To reflect the wholeness that can become difficult to see beneath years of conditioning, adaptation, fear, and survival. To help you become more intimate with your own inner knowing. To clear what constricts the natural movement of love, creativity, play, peace, and life force through you.
And to walk beside you as you discover what becomes possible when your life begins to feel like an authentic expression of who you truly are.

I like to use words like soul guide, intuitive guide, energy worker, and lightworker.
At its heart, my work is devoted to helping people remember who they are beneath the conditioning, protective patterns, and stories they've accumulated throughout life. I don't see myself as someone who heals another person or possesses answers they don't already have. Rather, I see myself as someone who helps cultivate the conditions in which your own wisdom, intuition, and innate capacity for healing become more accessible.
Every person carries a light that can become obscured by trauma, fear, grief, and survival. My role is simply to help reflect that light back until you begin recognizing it for yourself.

For over thirteen years, I have immersed myself in the study of psychology and practice of psychotherapy. I have completed extensive training in a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, and those years continue to shape the way I listen, perceive patterns, understand protection, and hold space for the complexity of another human being.
My background has given me a deep understanding of the nervous system, attachment, trauma, relationships, emotional regulation, identity, and the many ways people adapt in order to survive and belong. My training includes mindfulness-based approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, somatic work, self-compassion practices, and Internal Family Systems.
Elements of these approaches may naturally enter our work together. Mindfulness may help you observe your inner experience with greater clarity. Somatic awareness may help you recognize what your body is communicating before the mind turns it into a story. Self-compassion may support you in staying connected to yourself through discomfort. Parts work may help us understand the protective responses that arise within you. ACT may invite deeper alignment with your values, while DBT and nervous system practices may strengthen your capacity to remain present with intense emotion.
Everything I do is informed by an awareness of trauma, attachment, family systems, culture, identity, environment, and the larger social forces that shape a person’s life. I never view suffering in isolation from the conditions in which it developed.
Over time, I also became increasingly curious about dimensions of the human experience that psychology does not always attempt to name: meaning, consciousness, intuition, synchronicity, spirituality, soul, energy, and the mysterious intelligence that often seems to guide our lives.
My path has therefore become one of expansion. Psychology remains a vital foundation beneath my work, while spiritual inquiry, embodiment, intuition, and direct experience allow us to explore a wider landscape of what it means to heal, awaken, and remember.
Today, my work lives at the meeting place of psyche and soul.

Therapy and Inner Home are different containers with different intentions.
Therapy is designed to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health concerns within a clinical framework.
Inner Home is a space devoted to remembrance. A space where meaningful insight becomes integrated and embodied wisdom.
Rather than focusing primarily on symptom reduction, our work asks questions such as:
What is life inviting you to learn?
What adaptations helped you survive, and which are ready to soften?
What does your soul long to express?
How do you deepen trust in your own inner knowing?
-
Spirituality is woven into everything I do — not as a belief system to adopt, but as a way of relating to life.
For me, spirituality is about connection.
Connection to the present moment.
Connection to nature.
Connection to breath.
Connection to play.
Connection to your body.
Connection to mystery.
Connection to something larger than the individual self.
Whether someone speaks of god, source, consciousness, soul, love, or simply the intelligence of life, these all describe the felt experience of belonging to something greater than fear.

I've experienced the world this way for as long as I can remember.
I've always been deeply sensitive to energy, emotional states, and subtle shifts in people that are often difficult to explain through language alone. During our conversations, I frequently experience intuitive impressions that arrive as images, metaphors, patterns, embodied sensations, or quiet insights.
Often I can sense both the protective parts of a person and the deeper light that exists beneath them.
Sometimes these insights arrive immediately.
Sometimes they unfold gradually throughout our conversation or across a handful of meetings.
I often describe these experiences as "downloads," though to me they feel less like supernatural events and more like moments of profound attunement.
My intuition is never meant to replace your own.
Rather, I hope it helps you trust yours more deeply.
I also believe every human being possesses intuitive capacities. Part of this work is learning to hear your own inner guidance with increasing clarity.

Every session is unique because every person is unique.
Some days we may spend time exploring a life transition or relationship.
Other days we'll meditate together, practice mindfulness, meet with your inner child, work somatically with the body, explore symbolism within dreams, discuss spiritual questions, or examine recurring patterns through a psychological and soul-centered lens.
Throughout our work, I'll often invite bigger questions:
What is your soul learning through this experience?
What might life be asking of you right now?
What part of you is ready to emerge?
My role is not to direct your path, but to help illuminate it.

I consider myself both a lifelong student and a fellow traveler.
My understanding continues evolving through lived experience, contemplative practice, psychological research, neuroscience, spiritual traditions, meditation, and ongoing study.
Teachers who have deeply influenced me include Caroline Myss, Michael Singer, Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chödrön, Laura Lynne Jackson, Joe Dispenza, Ram Dass, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Gabor Maté, and many others.
Some have offered me scientific frameworks.
Others have offered spiritual language.
Together they continue shaping the philosophy of Inner Home.

Psychedelic experiences have profoundly shaped both my personal healing and my understanding of consciousness.
For three years I engaged in my own therapeutic ketamine journeys, experiences that deepened my relationship with mindfulness, intuition, and direct experience. I'm also trained as a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist and continue to follow the evolving field of psychedelic-assisted care with deep curiosity.
I've had the privilege of sitting in ceremony with Ayahuasca (Grandmother Medicine), Wachuma/San Pedro (Grandfather Medicine), and Psilocybin. Each has offered profound lessons in humility, surrender, compassion, interconnectedness, and remembrance.
While these medicines are not necessary for awakening, they have been meaningful teachers in my own life and continue informing the way I understand healing, consciousness, and the unfolding of the human journey.

I see Earth as a place of learning.
A school for the soul.
I believe each of us arrives carrying a unique curriculum—not one based on punishment or reward, but on the evolution of consciousness.
Our relationships, losses, joys, heartbreaks, fears, and longings become opportunities to remember who we are beneath the conditioning of this lifetime.
This perspective never minimizes trauma, oppression, systemic injustice, or the very real suffering people experience. Those realities deserve compassion, care, and significant healing.
At the same time, I believe human beings possess an extraordinary capacity to make meaning from even the most painful experiences.
Again and again, I've witnessed people transform suffering into wisdom, compassion, purpose, and service.
I believe we are creators of our experience — not in the simplistic sense that we control everything that happens to us, but in the profound sense that we participate in how we relate to what life brings us.
Ultimately, I believe our deepest nature is love, and the journey of life is one of remembering how to express that love more fully.

Everything is energy. Everything in existence exists in relationship.
Our thoughts influence our bodies.
Our emotions influence our nervous systems.
Our relationships influence our biology.
Our presence influences the people around us.
At the heart of many wisdom traditions is the understanding that a vital life force is continually moving through us. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is called Qi (Chi). In the yogic traditions of India, Prana. In Japan, Ki. Others speak of Spirit, Source, or simply the aliveness that animates all living things.
I often think of life force like a river.
A healthy river doesn't need to be taught how to flow. It naturally moves toward life, nourishing everything along its path. Yet over time, branches, rocks, debris, or dams can obstruct its movement. The water hasn't disappeared—it simply can't move as freely.
In much the same way, our life force naturally moves toward creativity, love, curiosity, authenticity, healing, and connection. Fear, chronic stress, grief, shame, trauma, and the protective patterns we develop throughout life can gradually constrict that flow. These are not flaws. They are intelligent adaptations that once helped us survive. Life force naturally wants to move - we don’t manufacture it — we either facilitate or obstruct its expression.
Much of the work we do together is gently clearing the river.
Practices such as mindfulness, somatic awareness, self-compassion, breathwork, emotional processing, meditation, movement, play, creative expression, and genuine presence don't create life force—they help remove what has been obstructing its natural expression.
As we become more present, something begins to soften.
Many people notice greater clarity, a quieter mind, increased synchronicities, deeper intuition, more meaningful opportunities, and an increasing sense that they are participating with life rather than struggling against it.
When we learn to consciously work with our energy, we become less driven by unconscious conditioning and more available to the intelligence already moving through us. In many ways, this is what I mean by remembering: allowing life to move through us with less resistance, greater trust, and a deeper sense of collaboration with the unfolding of our own path.

Always. In order to keep guiding, I have to keep evolving and engaging with new information.
I continue studying psychology, spirituality, neuroscience, contemplative traditions, Reiki, astrology, symbolism, consciousness, and many other disciplines — to deepen my capacity to serve.
I am a guide.
And I am also a fellow journeyer.
Sometimes I'll share pieces of my own story — not because my path is the path, but because our shared humanity can become a bridge.
If my experiences help you feel less alone, more hopeful, or more trusting of your own unfolding, then they have served their purpose.
