About Katie

My goal as your counselor is to create a warm and welcoming space where you feel comfortable being yourself. If you are feeling scared and overwhelmed about starting your counseling journey, you are not alone. I will support you and meet you where you are at so that we can work together to navigate challenges at a pace that is right for you.

My Passion and Expertise

I have a Bachelors of Science Degree in Psychology from Sam Houston State University. I am also currently pursuing a Masters of Arts Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with a certificate in Play Therapy from Sam Houston State University. I have received training in Child-Centered Play Therapy which is an approach that provides children with a safe, non-judgemental space to process their emotions and overcome challenges through play. I have also received training in Sandtray therapy which is an intervention that involves using miniature figures in the sand to build and process scenes that reflect your experiences.
I have a passion for working with children navigating social, emotional and behavioral challenges. I also have a special interest in working with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, social relationships and life transitions.

What to Expect in Session

Along with Child-Centered Play Therapy and Sandtray, my main counseling approach is Gestalt. In session, we will work together to explore your experiences, break down barriers and foster a deeper, holistic understanding of self. I strive to approach each individual that I see with openness and curiosity. Additionally, I can integrate techniques and exercises from other approaches to support you in your unique path towards healing. I’m able to incorporate your faith and personal values in ways that feel authentic to you. I believe that clients are the expert of their own lives and I will strive to provide you with a safe space where you feel accepted and empowered towards reaching your goals.
