About

Hi, I’m Katie, a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping women find hope, healing, and renewed purpose through life’s challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, motherhood, life transitions, depression, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life, I want you to know that you don’t have to walk through it alone.

I believe every person is created with inherent worth and dignity, and that true healing involves caring for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. My faith in Jesus Christ shapes the way I view people and the counseling relationship. I strive to create a safe, grace-filled space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and loved. While I welcome women wherever they are in their faith journey, I am honored to incorporate biblical truth, prayer, and a Christ-centered perspective into counseling for those who desire it.

My desire is not simply to help you manage symptoms, but to help you experience lasting transformation. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical tools for everyday life, and work toward healing, emotional resilience, and deeper freedom. My counseling is grounded in evidence-based practices while always recognizing that faith can be a powerful source of hope and healing.

Beginning counseling can feel overwhelming, but my goal is to make your first session feel comfortable and welcoming. We’ll spend time getting to know one another, talking about what has brought you to counseling, and identifying the goals that matter most to you. You can share your story at your own pace, without fear of judgment or pressure.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I believe some of life’s deepest healing happens within a relationship built on trust, authenticity, and grace. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you, offering encouragement, practical guidance, and Christ-centered hope as you move toward the abundant life God desires for you.
