She is committed to helping them find balance in their lives and foster healthy relationships. Tailoring her approach to meet the diverse needs of her clients, she skillfully integrates a variety of therapeutic techniques including worksheets, visual aids, bibliotherapy, therapy games, and play therapy.

She emphasizes the importance of spiritual fitness and self-care, enabling individuals to support others effectively. Recognizing that the journey to seek help can feel vulnerable, Katie honors the personal narratives of her clients, believing that sharing and processing experiences—whether confusing, frustrating, or surprising—can lead to meaningful connections and creative solutions.
