Meet the Team

Hi! I’m Jessica, the stranger you’re thinking about trusting to help you through your struggles. Since talking to a stranger for the first time might be daunting enough, here’s a little information to get to know me:

1. I like creating to-do lists and never looking at them again; I’ve realized having the list helps me store some of my thoughts until I need them again as I prioritize.

2. As I was growing up I was told “It’s okay if you wait until the last minute because you work great under pressure! You’ll get it done!” Well, I knew I would accomplish the task, but I didn’t know that I was stuck in an anxiety loop of worry and procrastination. I’m glad I’ve learned now!

3. I’ve found nature to be more relaxing and grounding than ever before. From a sunny day at the Outer Banks, swimming through waterfalls in Brevard, or sipping tea on my porch, I’m embracing more of what North Carolina has to offer for me and my mental health.

4. One of my favorite things about being a counselor is the resiliency, compassion, and growth I see through my clients every single week.

Hey, I’m Katie!

My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are.

I believe healing happens within safe, trusting relationships, so I work from an attachment-informed, person-centered lens that honors your lived experience and moves at your pace. Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in the belief that you already have strengths; we’re working together to uncover and build on them.

I am deeply committed to offering an affirming, inclusive space for clients of all identities and backgrounds. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, you deserve support that feels respectful, validating, and human.

I take a holistic view of mental health, recognizing the connection between emotional, relational, physical, and environmental factors. I may incorporate humor when appropriate, mindfulness, and gentle reflection to help ease the heaviness that can come with growth and change. While therapy can be challenging at times, I believe it doesn’t have to feel cold or intimidating; it can be a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself.

If you’re looking for a therapist who is compassionate, engaged, and genuinely invested in your well-being, I would be honored to walk alongside you. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out - we can take things one step at a time, together.
