Katherine enjoys working with adolescents, teens, and adults experiencing a variety of concerns such as perfectionism, anxiety and stress, eating disorders and disordered eating, body image and self-esteem issues, trauma and PTSD, OCD, difficult life transitions including young adults, and relationship issues. She desires for the counseling relationship to be one that invites peace and safety, encourages bold self-reflection, and brings about helpful change. Katherine is grateful for the opportunity to sit with clients in the realities of whatever they are experiencing- be it tears, questions, anxiety, laughter, anger, or simply a desire to know oneself better.

Katherine grew up in metro-Atlanta and understands performance-oriented culture and pressure well. She is especially passionate about working with those struggling with perfectionism, whether in the realm of work, academics, sports, people pleasing, high achievement, or other areas of life. She is encouraged by opportunities to integrate one’s faith into counseling when desired, and seeks to maintain a space characterized by respect, openness, and curiosity. 

Katherine received a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta and a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Science from the University of Georgia. She has specific, advanced training in Trauma-Focused CBT, providing an evidenced-based framework to help individuals experience healing from traumatic events. Outside of her work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, family, and friends, being outdoors, practicing yoga, reading, rock climbing, sipping on iced lattes, and watching movies. She is board-certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) and is licensed as an Associate Professional Counselor under direction and supervision.

A note from Katherine —

In a world that feels increasingly characterized by hurry, distraction, and stress, it can be daunting to make the decision to pause and take stock of how you might really be doing. I consider it an honor to witness my clients' stories and navigate the counseling space with delicate yet sure care.
