My Story
Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing couples and individual therapy in Mount Pleasant, SC.
Originally from Maryland, I was drawn to South Carolina to pursue my bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the College of Charleston. I later earned my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 10 years working as a nanny and supporting families through the everyday challenges of childhood, relationships, and parenthood. This experience deepened my understanding of family dynamics and continues to inform my passion for helping individuals and couples, particularly those navigating relationships, early adulthood, and the transition into parenthood.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m trained to think systemically—considering each person within the context of their relationships, family, and environment. I take a relational and collaborative approach, helping clients better understand their emotions, relationship patterns, and the experiences that may be contributing to feeling stuck or disconnected. I work with individuals and couples navigating concerns such as communication, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, self-esteem, boundaries, and life transitions. I also support individuals who are navigating emotionally unhealthy relationships and want to rebuild self-trust, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with themselves.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. Together, we’ll work toward the goals that matter most to you and create meaningful, lasting change.
Are We a Good Fit?
I work with couples and individuals seeking a collaborative, relational approach to therapy. You are the expert on your own story, and together we can explore the experiences, emotions, and relationship patterns that may be impacting your life.
I work with couples navigating communication challenges, conflict, intimacy, and the transition into parenthood. Together, we can better understand your patterns of connection and develop healthier ways of communicating and relating to one another.
In individual therapy, we can explore concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, emotional regulation, life transitions, and interpersonal relationships. I also support individuals navigating difficult or unhealthy relationships as they work toward greater self-awareness, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self.
Most importantly, I believe therapy should feel human. While we may have difficult conversations and work through challenging experiences, there is also room to laugh, be yourself, and build a genuine connection. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being seen and understood as we work toward the changes that matter most to you.
