Meet Katie

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults experiencing challenges with mental health diagnoses, developmental trauma, relationship difficulties, and interpersonal conflict. I am passionate about engaging others in meaningful conversations that empower them to lean into their challenges to learn ways to heal and take charge of their dreams, hopes, and goals. I strive to create a space for people to feel safety and security through a collaborative relationship wherein they tap into their resiliency and explore themselves.​

Favourite quote: "Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them. Some of the best human beings I know, have been through so much at the hands of others, and they still love deeply, they still care. Sometimes, it's the people who have been hurt the most, who refuse to be hardened in this world, because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they themselves have felt. If that isn't something to be in awe of, I don't know what is" - Bianca Sparacino
