Do you want to live a balanced life and feel happy? Perhaps you are constantly facing obstacles and challenges in your life that are impacting your holistic wellness and authentic relationships.

I can help you, guide you, and support you as you process various issues related to your cultural/sexual identity, anxiety related to transitions and relationships, grief, trauma, depression, etc. I can help you gain a deeper insight and self-awareness that will allow you to get closer to your goals, make better decisions, and have a better quality of life in a holistic manner using mindfulness.

Do you struggle with compulsive pornography use, sexual infidelity, or out of control sexual behavior? If you have persistent sexual thoughts and behaviors despite damaging consequences, you may be wrestling with sexual addiction. Or maybe you didn't ask for this; rather, your partner or loved one is in the midst of sexual addiction. Be encouraged: There is a safe place for your pain.

As a queer, non-binary, disabled professional counselor, I am committed to creating an environment in which you can feel safe, heard, and understood. I believe that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to hold space for you, and to facilitate the exploration of your strengths while deepening your connection to your core self and your values. The relationship with the self and the body should feel like a safe haven; creating that sense of safety is foundational for healing and growth.

Are you happy? Do you have questions that you just can’t seem to answer? Is there a feeling of disconnection or distraction? Do you feel like a spectator in your own life? These questions and many more face us all…. maybe more succinctly put …. Are you living your best life? As a counselor, coach, and mentor, my passion is helping you and your family answer that ultimate question with a resounding YES! In life we all struggle with our emotional health from time to time and through solution focused and cognitive behavioral counseling I work with you, my client, to resolve these concerns and promote growth.

Caring for yourself and your relationships is the most important task you will ever have. Paying attention to and nourishing your emotional well being is as important as caring for your physical health. Often I encounter individuals, couples and families struggling with the excessive demands of life in the 21st century. Depression, anxiety and addictions are common in our society. Conflicts and difficulty in communication with those closest to us can often lead to feelings of isolation and despair.

Being a mother is challenging. You have more worries, less time, and no room for "self-care." You may question your abilities, your partner, your career path, and more. You may even be anxious about delivering your baby. Have you completely lost yourself in a sea of stress, worry, and sadness? You are not alone. I am a mother, wife, and survivor of perinatal anxiety. I understand the fluctuating hormones that can cause our mood disturbances. I want to help you to manage your anxiety, replace your depressive thoughts, and understand the chemical changes that cause them. With individual or couples therapy you will be well!

Hello, I'm Katie. I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist with a collaborative, empowering, and supportive approach to therapy. Oftentimes, clients know they want to “go” somewhere in their life or relationships. Sometimes, the destination is not totally clear, and sometimes they know exactly where they want to go but not quite how to get there. We’ll begin by clarifying where you are in your journey- the metaphorical “you are here” dot on your map. Once we clarify where you are, and how you got here, we will work together to determine where you want to go, which route you want to take, and how to move in that direction.

Life present many challenges and sometimes we need support to help us navigate through the tough times. For some, it’s family, or relationships, work, school, and life transitions. I can help you through those transitions. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Georgia and Alabama and have a master’s in counseling and Social Work from Jackson State University.

My approach to counseling is beneficial to those who need guidance and support while navigating through conflicts, grief, depression/anxiety, self-esteem, challenges to confidence, women's issues, adulting, relationship issues, adjustments/life transitions, and corporate wellness (building work/life balance, addressing burnout, maintaining professional wellness).

Are you experiencing anxiety or depression? Do you feel stuck and have trouble making decisions? In a troubled relationship or marriage? Have problems communicating? Family tensions? Would you like to feel more calm and experience your emotions in a more healthy way? It can be very difficult to know where to turn when you need help. My 15+ years of experience have given me the ability to provide compassionate, non-judgmental guidance, support and direction to some of life's most difficult challenges. I work with trauma, parenting, ADHD, healing from the past, relational issues, adjustment to life change & life coaching.

From childhood through late adulthood, there are certain times when we may need help addressing problems and issues that cause us emotional distress or make us feel overwhelmed. Together we work towards growth by identifying the issues involved, establishing goals, and becoming increasingly aware of reoccurring patterns that prevent growth. As awareness of one’s fears, perception, desires, and strengths increase, we are able to make successful life changes. Self-awareness by becoming more honest with ourselves can initiate the authenticity that often results in healing, transformation, and fuller life.

Reaching out for help and making that initial phone call can be difficult for some people. However, feeling stuck in your life, a job, or in a relationship that is not working can also be difficult. In my practice I strive to help clients gain awareness of what is keeping them stuck and develop effective, healthier, coping strategies for gaining control in their lives.
