Katie’s thoughts on Counseling:
“I believe that counseling is a crucial part of one’s self-care, and I consider myself honored to accompany clients as they strive to find healing in life and to grow into better versions of themselves. I believe that counseling should be a safe, non-judgmental experience for all clients, and I strive to ensure my clients feel welcome and comfortable in sharing their stories.”
Outside of the Therapy Office:
“I love spending time with my family, including my husband and our two young kiddos. I enjoy supporting local businesses, especially frequenting local coffee shops. I also enjoy practicing yoga and engaging in improvisation, including attending shows and taking classes.”

Using a person-centered approach, Katie views clients as inherently worthy, capable, and growth-oriented. She strives to facilitate a safe, warm, and welcoming space where clients feel deeply seen and empowered to access their own inner resources.
