Hello and welcome! I know finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming and it is vital that you find someone you feel comfortable with. Even taking the step to look is meaningful and I am glad that you are considering me. I have been working as a therapist for over fifteen years in a variety of settings, including hospitals, college counseling centers, adoption work, elder care, and private practice. I primarily support adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and the lasting effects of difficult or overwhelming experiences. My approach is trauma informed which is to say that I focus on helping you feel safe, understood, and supported. I pay attention not just to what you are saying but also to how your experiences may be showing up in your body, your reactions and thoughts, and your patterns. Together, we can work to make sense of what you have been through and how it is impacting you now. I see therapy as a collaborative process. I will meet you without judgment and we will figure out together what feels helpful. If something is not working, we can adjust. If something is working, we can build on it. You do not have to fit yourself into a specific way of doing therapy because we shape the process around you. While I have a lot of experience working with people who have ADHD, ADD, and autism, I don’t provide formal evaluations or prescribe medication. I am also unable to write Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters. Although this platform offers the option for me to utilize AI to take notes, I opt out and will continue to do so. I will not ever utilize AI for your care when given the choice.
In our work together, we will spend time understanding what has led you to seek therapy while identifying the goals that feel most meaningful to you. I will ask questions to better understand your background as well as current concerns, and I may offer reflections or ideas for you to consider between sessions. I view therapy as your time and your space. You are welcome to take a pause, eat a snack, or step away briefly. I also encourage you to prioritize comfort, which may include lying in bed, wearing pajamas, or settling in however feels most supportive. There are a few guidelines required for telehealth sessions. You need to be alone, located in Texas at the time of our visit, and in a space where your safety can be ensured. For in person sessions, you are welcome to bring a fidget toy, a blanket, a bottle of water, or something else that could help with your comfort. There are bathrooms near the office as well. Either way, I invite you to make your environment feel as comfortable as possible while we talk.
I believe my biggest strengths are my compassion and curiosity. My goal is to understand who you truly are, not who you feel you should be. From that place, we can better identify what is supporting you and what may be getting in the way so we can work toward change that feels meaningful. I value your feedback and see our work as a collaborative process.
I work with adults of all ages for individual counseling regarding a variety of concerns. I have experience working with several different modalities and I tailor each session to best suit the person in front of me. I offer virtual sessions several days per week and in person sessions on Wednesdays. My calendar is up to date and I am accepting new clients.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT to help clients build a more flexible and compassionate relationship with their thoughts and feelings. Instead of struggling to control or avoid uncomfortable emotions, we practice noticing them with acceptance while focusing on actions that align with personal values. This approach helps you create a more meaningful life and centers what matters to you most.
Attachment-based
With attachment-based therapy, I help clients explore how early relationships and experiences have shaped their patterns of connection, trust, and emotional safety. By understanding these dynamics, you can begin to heal old wounds and create healthier, more secure relationships in the present. This approach focuses on fostering self compassion, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of psychological safety.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
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. Together, we focus on building practical coping skills and developing more balanced, realistic ways of seeing yourself and the world.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I use ERP to help clients gently face the fears or anxieties that keep them feeling stuck. 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.
Schema Therapy
We work together to uncover potential schemas that you are unconsciously operating with and look at underlying roots of those schemas. We attempt to revise those schemas over time by getting at the root of them.

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.

My first intake session I learned a lot. We talked about my past and experiences that led up to what I was feeling today. I loved how she backed up what was said through science and certain experiences other people have felt in scientific experiences. She talked about the stages of change and it really helped me out!
