Her therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual's unique needs, incorporating various counseling theories to provide comprehensive care. Katy places great value on being present with her clients, exploring how they can utilize their strengths to overcome life's obstacles.

Whether clients are facing new personal challenges, feeling overwhelmed by life's stresses, or seeking self-growth, Katy is committed to exploring the possibilities of therapy with them.

Katy's professional expertise is complemented by her belief in the importance of maintaining a balanced life. Outside of counseling, she enjoys spending time in nature, trying new restaurants with her husband, and staying active through walking and running.
