ABOUT KATIE
"Story is a medicine which strengthens and rights the individual and the community."
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Katie is a storyteller & communications specialist based in Portland, Oregon.
She has more than two decades of experience working in often challenging and overwhelmed systems, including behavioral and public health, primary and higher education, the military and first responders, child welfare and the criminal justice field. As a dually licensed therapist, a clinical director, a lifelong child advocate, and systems consultant, she has helped individuals and organizations find greater alignment with their core values and quickly, creatively, begin to put them into action as a tool for healing and change.
What sets Katie apart is her ability to use storytelling and candor, with a dash of humor, to create open exchange and a sense of hopefulness, allowing people to redefine resilience, find common ground, and work more authentically and collaboratively, in both policy and practice.
