Clients say this provider is
I work with adults who are experiencing OCD, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting struggles, life transitions, and relationship frustrations. I offer a warm, welcoming environment for clients and I am neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ supporting. I firmly believe that our society has systemic oppression baked in and I aim to practice cultural humility in my work. My approach is trauma informed, collaborative, and grounded in respect for autonomy and lived experience. Fear of judgment from a therapist is a common concern and while I might challenge certain narratives or beliefs, I draw my responses from a place of curiosity. Sometimes I hear people say, "...I know that sounds crazy" or they apologize for the words they use. I want therapy to be a place where you can show up as you are. I am difficult to offend and I am not listening to your words so I can judge how you express yourself. The important thing is for you to just say what you need to and we will go from there. Please note: I am unable to prescribe medication, assess for ADHD/ADD, or write ESA letters. Many times, a psychiatrist can help with these pieces. Although this platform offers AI options, I will not ever utilize AI for your care.
When you schedule a first session with me, I will send you a message with details about Texas regulations, Grow policies, and answers to some questions you might have. When we first meet, we will spend time discussing what led you to seek therapy while identifying goals that feel meaningful. I will ask questions to better understand your background and I will invite you to share thoughts about current concerns as we go. As we end the session, I will sometimes provide a suggestion or idea to consider afterward. You are then free to re-book with me or I can provide referrals of other providers if that is what ends up being best for you.
Compassion, curiosity, and inquisitiveness. I want to understand who you are, uniquely.
I greatly enjoy working with adults of varying ages for individual counseling. I appreciate however people would like to show up in the therapy room and I have no "ideal" person or client in mind. It is important to me that you feel that we are a good fit after we meet, but that does not require anything of you.

I use ACT to help clients build a more flexible and compassionate relationship with their internal world. We practice noticing uncomfortable emotions and thoughts with acceptance while focusing on actions that align with personal values.
I use CBT to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new ways of responding, you can shift out of cycles that keep you feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
I use ERP to help clients gently face the fears or anxieties that keep them feeling stuck. This is a type of therapy that works particularly well for OCD. Together, we identify the situations or thoughts that trigger distress and then practice approaching them in a safe, supported way without relying on the usual avoidance or reassurance behaviors. Over time, this helps your brain learn that you can handle discomfort and that the fears lose their power.
I use prolonged exposure therapy on single instance PTSD events. This type of therapy involves us working together to safely and gradually evoke the traumatic memory while desensitizing your brain to it. That will allow heightened trauma symptoms to be reduced and it will also enable you to change your behavior.

I was drawn to Katie's experience with elders as I navigate the "what's next " period in my life. Vision problems and caregiver challenges were causing me to feel overwhelmed and mildly depressed so sought help which led to choosing Katie as my therapist. Working with her has been a lifesaver. She is a great listener and channels our sessions and "to do's" between with insight and respect for what's important to me. I am lucky to have her in my corner!

Katie has been amazing to work with. I’m new to therapy, and she has made it very welcoming and easy to stick to. She’s very easy going and responds with great feedback and understanding. Highly recommend her

Katie is an exceptional therapist. Her approach is thoughtful, open-minded, and evidence-based. She is deeply empathetic and has helped me navigate traumatic life experiences insightfully and authentically. She is incredibly supportive especially with managing my anxiety, setting boundaries, understanding my triggers, and finding solutions. I'm so grateful to have found her; it's been life changing and continues to be one of the best decisions I've ever made for my health and well-being.
