“I believe that curiosity and compassion are essential gifts for healing.”
Meet Katie
I believe that curiosity and compassion are essential gifts for healing. Each individual possesses a unique set of inner resources, and my role is to provide a supportive space for exploration and movement toward wholeness. By fostering safety and connection, I aim to facilitate a natural path towards wellness. My approach focuses on empowering you to cultivate curiosity and confidence, enabling you to become a source of healing through self-compassion.
In my counseling practice, I adopt a supportive role to enhance your insight and increase self-acceptance, fostering a sense of belonging within yourself. I value collaboration, creativity, and embodiment in my therapeutic work, always respecting your pace in our sessions. It is important to me that you are acknowledged and that your experiences are honored. My practice is rooted in principles of affirmation and justice, and I am dedicated to creating a space where individuals from all backgrounds feel celebrated. I aim to continue my own learning and efforts at disrupting systems of oppression that impact mental health and well-being.
The name "Wonder Counseling" embodies the experiences of both curiosity and awe that frequently arise in my work with clients. It is my hope that our time together will inspire you to feel a sense of wonder at your own story and the unique resilience that you posses.
Whether you are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting difficulties, shame, insecurity, work-related stress, or other life stressors, I am here to offer support, care, and resources.
Katie’s Training
I bring over a decade of dedicated counseling experience to my clients. My approach to healing and growth is integrative and holistic, tailored to meet individual needs effectively.
I received specialized training in Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS level 2), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR level 1), and Somatic Experiencing (Beginning I). These therapeutic modalities allow me to support deep healing and transformation with my clients, weaving together mind-body approaches to achieve holistic and lasting therapeutic results.
Additionally, I received training as a play therapist. Although working with children is no longer my primary focus, my background in Play Therapy continues to enrich my work with parents and allows me to facilitate increased insight and provide helpful strategies for fostering harmony within family relationships. I am also trained in the Gottman Method as well as the Prepare/Enrich program for couples.
