You may be used to holding it all together, yet internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of your next steps. Perhaps also experiencing a lingering sense that you’re not where you “should” be. You want clarity. You want relief. Most of all, you want to feel grounded and confident in your next steps. Therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, make sense of what feels stuck, and turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Katie takes a collaborative, compassionate approach, helping you build insight, resilience, and practical tools for meaningful change.
Katie works with individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, performance stress, and major life transitions, including career changes and identity shifts. Utilizing modalities such as Brainspotting, EMDR, & Gottman, she supports clients facing perfectionism, burnout, attachment wounds, and unresolved trauma that impact relationships.
Katie is a Florida Panhandle native with deep roots in the community and appreciation for the Gulf Coast lifestyle. She enjoys the beach, paddleboarding, mountain getaways, and exploring new places with her family. A passionate advocate for animal rescue, Katie also finds joy in art, thrifting, and repurposing old items into something meaningful and unique.
