“If you go deeper and deeper into your own heart, you’ll be living in a world with less fear, isolation and loneliness.” - Sharon Salzberg

Hi, I’m Katie.


Thanks for stopping in! I hope that you find something that resonates with you while you’re here.

I’ll be honest, therapy is strange – a strange and wonderful thing. We sit with someone who starts off as a complete stranger to us for 50 minutes once a week, looking for answers to all sorts of questions. Questions that we may have been holding onto for some time, like: Why am I scared to feel certain things? Why do I push others away? How do I find more fulfillment in life? Why do I feel so disconnected from myself and/ or others? Am I ever going to get through this breakup/ loss/ divorce/ trauma?

Whatever you’re asking yourself, remember that you’re not alone in asking it. Chances are, many of us have asked it before. And isn’t that the great part? That we humans have each other. There is a richness and fullness to life that can be felt when we connect on a deeper level with ourselves and with each other.

Many folx come to work with me to address, understand and better navigate their anxiety, difficult life transitions, their sense of self, relationship difficulties, family of origin issues, and/ or trauma.  I work with people in these areas from a body-mind perspective, meaning that our mental health is not just comprised of our thoughts and feelings, but how we hold these things in our bodies, too.  To help you rewire your nervous system, thus improving your relationship with your feelings and creating new pathways of healing in your brain, I pull from the following modalities in my work: somatic-based therapies, parts work (or IFS), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Buddhist Psychology.

I consider my approach to be very relational and authentic. I strive to be a genuine presence in the room with my clients, rather than a quiet, blank slate. My therapeutic presence can be described as attentive, warm, curious, and humorous – because sometimes we just have to laugh at life’s ridiculousness.

I became a therapist because I love hearing people’s stories, and I want to help guide them on their new path to deeper understanding and growth.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I obtained my master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin.  I’ve been practicing as a social worker for 9 years now, and have 12 years of experience of working in other capacities outside of traditional one-on-one therapy that have shaped who I am both as a person and a therapist.  I am LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome all peoples into my practice. I find that the work around our personal biases is an ever-changing one that requires accountability, honesty, and curiosity. I am always learning and growing to better understand myself and my fellow humans.

When not in session, I can be found in nearly any body of water during hot, Texas weather, visiting with my friends and family, goofing around with my husband, getting my stretch on with some yoga, or snuggling my pups.
