Kathy finds deep joy in connecting with people as they pursue healing and wholeness in their lives through facing their fears, learning how to regulate their emotions, and being empowered to thrive in their journey. She leverages her life experience and education to attune to the needs of clients and determine what interventions might best guide her clients toward healing. Kathy has a strong attachment mindset and views the world through a trauma-informed lens. She believes the most impactful part of therapy is the bond created in the counseling room. Kathy works with adults utilizing modalities such as psychodynamic theory, polyvagal theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in addition to attachment theory. She has specific, advanced training in trauma-informed care, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), providing an evidenced-based framework to help individuals experience healing from traumatic events. When appropriate, Kathy enjoys working with clients who wish to incorporate their faith into counseling.

Kathy holds a bachelor's degree in sociology from Berry College and a master's degree from Richmont Graduate University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. When Kathy isn't working with clients, she's usually spending time with her kids through involvement in their schools, extracurriculars, and other things they enjoy. She has been married for 19 years, and she and her husband delight in hanging out with friends and family. In her downtime, Kathy loves watching sports, reading, or being at the beach.
