About me

I provide focused, direct therapy for adults and couples across Texas. If you’re ready to look honestly at the patterns shaping your reactions and relationships, we’ll work well together.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who feel stuck in repeating cycles — defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, or the same arguments that never get resolved. My work is trauma-informed, which means we pay attention to how past experiences shape present reactions. I help you recognize these patterns as they happen and understand what they’re protecting. When we can see the pattern clearly, we can begin to change it.

I also work extensively with adults navigating ADHD, particularly when it affects emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples, I focus on identifying reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable communication.

Therapy with me is structured, honest, and grounded in safety. We move at a pace that is challenging but not overwhelming. If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level conversations and make meaningful change, I’d be glad to work with you.

Written on May 03, 2026 after therapy with Katy for 3 months on issues concerning addictions, relationship issues, anger management, and coaching

Katy has helped me re-align my values with my goals. She helped me identify my personal barriers and how to work through them so I can be my better self. It's nice to have a sounding board who helps me to think through my journey and experiences as well as to process them so that I'm not keeping it all inside.
