Hi, I'm Katie. I provide therapy to adults and couples. I graduated from Central Michigan University and The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. At Simply Begin Again Therapy, I provide compassionate, personalized therapy for individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and life’s challenges. Through secure virtual counseling, I serve clients across Michigan—offering a safe, supportive space to heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself. Wherever you are, I’m here to help you more forward.

The clients I've worked with that have reported the greatest success all have one thing in common: They tried their hardest in and out of session to challenge themselves. I firmly believe that every person has the answers they are searching for within themselves. I often work with clients to build up their faith & trust within themselves so that they no longer go through life second guessing everything they do. During the young adult stage of life people often believe that they are supposed to have everything in their life figured out. I believe that if you really work hard at getting to know yourself, you will have all the tools you'll need to figure out what is best for you going forward.

Hi there! I am a mental health therapist (LMSW) who offers virtual appointments only, with some flexibility for weekday and/or weekend scheduling. I have limited capacity to accommodate emergency sessions. I currently work with adult individuals only. I am an unambiguously Black, pansexual, cis-presenting, able bodied femme who understands and emphasizes the importance of intersectionality within mental health. Born and raised in Detroit, I have a thorough understanding of the environmental obstacles marginalized folx are challenged with when exploring the state of their mental health. I uphold the belief that exploration and management of mental health is a life-long journey, and I take pride in being able to assist on this journey. I have an eclectic approach to mental health, including the promotion of methods for holistic health. My areas of focus include creating safe spaces for Black folx, POC, non-monogamous folx, and those in the LGBTQIA2SP+ communities. I provide talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral informed therapy (DBT-informed), motivational interviewing (MI), and solution-focused therapy models. While these are my current areas of comfort, I am open to exploring additional modalities that may be of interest to clients. Therapy is a collaborative space, and I treat it as such. Other areas of focus include treatments for anxiety, depression, fat acceptance/liberation, intersectional stigmas, ableism, ageism, sexism, womanism, mindfulness, sexual liberation, sexual health, communication skills, academics, life skills, religious trauma, and the importance of Black femmes putting their cape down and resting. I look forward to being part of your healing process.

My approach to counseling is interactive in style and based on the concept that understanding emotions is essential to personal growth and happiness. I provide a supportive, empathetic, non-judgmental environment in which my clients feel comfortable in sharing and exploring their feelings. My goal is to help my clients to develop long term skills for coping and prospering. I specialize in working with life transitions and grief and loss. I work with individuals, couples and families.

I work best with college students and young adults dealing with stress, anxiety, burnout, low mood, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by academic pressure, relationships, or trying to figure out what’s next. My style is collaborative and practical — helping you better understand your emotions, build coping skills, and find strategies that make daily life feel more manageable and balanced. I use evidence-based approaches that focus on building coping skills, increasing emotional awareness, and strengthening confidence, while always tailoring sessions to your goals and pace.

Most likely, you are searching due to questions about the world you are entering into, and what is your next step now that you are in college or nearing the end. My goal is to help you navigate your next step and, if necessary, assist in reducing your anxiety and depression that may or may not be correlated to your college experience.

I am available to any and all who are in need of grief and trauma support services. I have been a school social worker for 11 years, and have extensive experience working with students to process individual trauma and grief.

Life is a journey of ups and downs, and we are not given a manual on how to live a happy and fulfilling life. We learn and grow from our past experiences and sometimes we get stuck and continue to make the same decisions until we acknowledge them so we can move on. When we know better, we tend to do better. We are all worthwhile individuals that are capable of change with a little help, encouragement, and empowerment. If life is not going the way you want it to, today is another day to make new choices and begin a path in a new direction. Are you willing to invest in yourself and make the changes needed to live your best life? I have experience working with Grief, Depression, Anxiety, Mental Health Disorders, Addictions, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, ADHD, Trauma, Sex Offense, Survivors, and PTSD. I see clients of all ages. I have experience in individual, family, and group therapy. Therapeutic settings include Behavioral Health, CMH, Jail, Home Visits, Foster Care, and Prison. I strongly believe that life is what we make it. We are not all placed in the world with perfect families and childhoods. Sometimes we need to do our own personal work to leave behind the things that are not working for us anymore. If you need someone to help you work things out, find out what you want out of life, and support you in the process I can help.

Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us. –David Richo Allowing yourself to be vulnerable with someone new is often one of the most challenging aspects of starting therapy. There is a stigma associated with seeking professional help for mental health in many communities; however, therapy can open doors you didn’t know existed. I believe that you are your own expert and have the strength within you to navigate challenges in your life. My role as a therapist is to be along your side to help find the best version of yourself. Each individual’s path in therapy is unique. With the use of strength-based interventions we can find a safe, culturally-responsive, and a non-judgmental environment to support your needs and overcome challenges. I am passionate about helping individuls explore the thoughts and feelings that empower them to develop healthy habits for their daily lives. Healing and change can start with a simple intention and my intention is to help you achieve your personal goals. I am eager to work with individuals who have endured all forms of trauma, including sexual, physical, and emotional. Unprocessed trauma can manifest itself in various forms including emotional responses and physical symptoms. Our bodies often hold on to feelings that our brains cannot process and in turn inhibit our potential to succeed in our daily life. I aim to give you the tools you need to settle those feelings and symptoms and enable your potential for growth, empowerment, self-love, and success. As a daughter of immigrants, I am familiar with the struggles of feeling like an outsider, facing ongoing acculturation, as well as the stress and anxiety that comes with resettlement and starting over. I strive to normalize therapy and make it accessible to anyone struggling with their cultural or personal identity, including the immigrant community and anyone seeking therapy for the first time.
