Katie’s approach to counseling children is warm, relational, and grounded in the belief that kids do their best when they feel safe, understood, and supported. She creates a welcoming therapeutic space where children can express themselves in ways that feel natural to them, using developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed, and strengths-based interventions. Katie integrates creative therapies such as play and movement to help children communicate feelings they may not yet have words for, while also building emotional regulation, self-esteem, and coping skills. She works collaboratively with caregivers when appropriate, honoring family systems and attachment, and always centers the child’s voice, pace, and unique strengths in the healing process.

Young children do not have the verbal skills to explain what is bothering them and may become angry or depressed. I communicate with children at the appropriate age level using books, games, and drawing. As we play together, your child will feel safe and find a way to express feelings not easily expressed because of lack of words. I will help your child develop new coping and verbal skills that will allow expression of feelings. I will, or course, communicate with you as the parent and make suggestions to help you interact better with your child

Adolescents can be a beautiful time in life, but for some it can be terrifying. Navigating through life as we try to find who we are and where we belong can be a daunting task. Support and guidance is always necessary through this time, but also learning through our experiences is vital to development as well. The pressures and expectations that adolescents carry around with them is a huge weight. Having a supportive and caring adult to walk them through this time in their life can be vital to get through this stage in life and thrive.

With young children, you have to let go and play. Play is one of the ways children communicate and express their feelings. Using "Play Therapy", we enter the world of play and within the play, one finds the needs of the child, and the parents are then able to see how they may help their children in positive ways. Sometimes, it's about going for a walk with the child and seeing what comes up. It's being present, open and able to get out of your way of thinking and opening to what the child is trying to show you through their play.

Children are incredible, talented beings! However, oftentimes we have adult expectations of children, in terms of managing BIG emotions - when they haven't been given the tools to do so or feel heard when they try to express these feelings. I believe in harnessing the power of play (a child's language!) to give children a necessary outlet and room to practice these life skills. I utilize both direct and non-direct play techniques to help children prevent or resolve difficulties with which they are struggling. I believe in the healing power of play and the tremendous benefits it brings to children in therapy.

I highly specialize in working with young children. I have extensive training and knowledge in early childhood development and use a combination of play therapy and EMDR when treating children. I believe trust is the most important component of therapy with kids and put a large emphasis on building the therapeutic relationship in the beginning. This allows kids to feel safe and benefit long term from the therapy process.

In working with young children, I create a gentle, supportive space where they can explore their feelings and experiences with the presence of a trusted caregiver. By including a caregiver in our sessions, we help the child understand that they are not solely responsible for any challenges they might be facing. Together, we can reframe struggles as shared experiences that do not define them, encouraging a sense of belonging and resilience. This approach helps both child and caregiver connect around strengths, building a foundation of support and understanding that allows the child to feel seen, valued, and empowered.
