Katie has been in the mental health field since 2011 working with at-risk adolescents and the mentally ill population during her Bachelor's program in Psychology at the University of Southern Maine in Portland. It was here that Katie discovered her passion for helping people discover their innate strengths and reveled in watching clients find their light. Initially thinking she wanted to work with kids, Katie graduated in 2014 with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy with a Post Graduate Certification in Counseling Children and Adolescents from Regis University in Denver. After having a few couples in internship and experiencing the lightness and love in the room when couples can finally find each other and connect through their struggles, Katie was moved to focus more on couples and individuals struggling with relationships. After graduation, Katie opened her private practice in Colorado. Life moved Katie to Georgia and then eventually to Charleston where after working in group private practices, Katie decided to open her solo practice. Throughout the past ten years in the mental health field, Katie has gained experience with at-risk children, adolescents, parents, mental illness, the homeless population, crises, and couples.
