Ocean Springs, MS 39564
My name is Katryna. My strengths include working with children and their families on communication and behavior. I use techniques of play and sand tray therapy as well as methods integrating art and music. Together, we can create transformation. Using aspects of The Children's Success Foundation of The Nurtured Heart Approach, we change the language of communication. NHA is not a quick fix or temporary improvement. It is a transformation of communication, boundaries, and respect.

Jackson, MS 39216
For children and adolescents, I can help them use what we know about the brain to help better manage their emotions, improve social skills, and learn to make helpful choices, whether they have ADHD or are struggling with anxiety and depression.
How different would your life be if you experienced difficult emotions for minutes at a time verses days or weeks? Suppose in everyday interactions, you were able to teach your children to deal with frustrations skillfully. What would your marriage look like if you weren’t compelled by anger to say the thing that causes your wife or husband to stop speaking to you or you were able to be more productive at work because your anxiety or sadness passed as suddenly as it came. I specialize in techniques to help adults, children, and adolescents find freedom from unnecessary suffering and help parents raise more thoughtful children.

I have significant experience working with children with behavioral problems through play therapy and family therapy.
I believe in the healing power of safe relationships. I believe this because I have experienced being healed through therapeutic relationships. So many of us face the daily pain of being wounded by others, losing people we love, divorce, hating ourselves, feeling ashamed, alone, confused, or numb. We go to great lengths to manage the pain or anxiety we experience and often make wrecks of our lives and those around us. It is my desire to come along side hurting people and foster lasting growth and change. If you can relate to this, Welcome!

Each child has unique life experiences and circumstances, which is why I use an integrative approach to play therapy with every child.
I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of practice settings over the past 20 years. My primary area of interest and training is working with children under the age of 10 dealing with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, autism, developmental delay, divorce, grief, medical issues, behavioral problems, and more. I believe children have limitless potential for growth and they have an innate capacity for resiliency. I also believe that parents and primary caregivers play a critical role in a child's recovery and a joint approach to working with children is essential to healing.

Children and youth sometimes have much more difficulty expressing their feelings in an appropriate way in than adults. It is difficult to watch your child suffer with anxiety, depression, stress, or any variety of situations that impact daily living. Children and youth may not have learned how to express emotions due to varying reasons. The goal is to improve coping skills, confidence, and the ability for all children and adolescents to navigate big emotions and difficult emotions in a healthy manner.
