About Katie

I have been working with children all my life and have my degree in Elementary Education. I've worked in mental health as a peer specialist. Some of my strengths are empathy, patience, encouragement, thoughtfulness, caring and I'm a great listener. I really enjoy spending time with and working with the elderly. I am proud of all the years of experience and skills I have gained from working with and caring for children. I am also glad I was able to get a training certificate from a wellness network as a mental health peer specialist. I have helped elderly people that lived in the same housing as my parents, which I really enjoyed.

While I was at Mind Springs I was providing support to clients on their mental health journey. The majority of the clients were homeless and I helped to provide services for them. I was responsible for connecting them with doctors, therapists and other professionals. I would provide a kind, caring and thoughtful listening ear for support.

I am very caring with a deep understand of mental illness and plans to be a therapist. The idea of helping others and giving back are what started this journey, to see a client truly happy with what we can do together brings me a joy I cannot describe. Growing up I found my solace in music and worked my way to first chair in my orchestra I now realize what music can bring to many peoples lives. I can say that I truly love my job and giving a fresh perspective for care particularly in cases of Alzheimer's and dementia. Feel free to ask me for a reference!
