Whether it is the heartbreak of loss, the exhaustion of overwhelming emotions, the stress of navigating difficult relationships, or feeling consumed by painful memories, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your wellness journey. My therapy approach blends concepts from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapies, with Attachment, Existential, and Somatic approaches according to your needs, comfort, and values.
I offer therapy to adults 1-on-1 and bring experience in helping trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, identity, shame, spiritual & religious abuse, crisis of faith, and more. Additionally, many of my clients are looking to integrate their Christian faith into therapy, which I am happy to do upon request.
Many describe me as a warm, bubbly person who smiles and laughs a lot. While I believe laughter can be healing, I also value calmness, safety, and stillness. Together, we can build the resiliency and hope you are looking for.

Katie is warm and personable, with a heart for Military Families and folks struggling with Church hurt. She is so easy to talk to that she makes the counseling experience so much more comfortable and less intimidating.
