 Katie has always had a passion for serving others. Her husband retired from the U.S. Army in June of 2021 after 20 years of service during which time Katie had the privilege of volunteering and working with military families within his units in various capacities. She quickly learned the challenges that military families face as individuals and in relationship to having to frequently relocate, endure deployments, and manage other mental and emotional obstacles. Katie's experiences and desire to serve others led her to add on to her Bachelor of Arts in Communications from the University of Louisville and achieve her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. 

Katie works primarily with teens, adults, and couples providing therapy in treating relationship issues, depression, anxiety, anger, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. She has experience in working with military families and is LGBTQ+ friendly. She is committed to helping clients feel more empowered, develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving by tapping into their own strengths and finding meaning and purpose in their lives. The theoretical approaches Katie uses include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Gottman, Positive Psychology, and Strength-Based Therapy.

In her spare time, you can find Katie gardening, biking, hiking, taking a Zumba class, spending time with family, and watching documentaries.

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. Five years ago my family and I moved to WA from TX. We were previously a military family and have traveled quite a bit. In fact, I've visited 23 states and 4 countries so far. When I’m not working I’m spending time with my family, our 3 dogs, 11 chickens, and bunny. When I get the chance to read, I love to get lost in a good book. I have experience working with various populations and clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relational stressors, & trauma. I specialize in individual therapy for adults and couples therapy. During individual sessions my therapeutic techniques vary and are catered specifically to my individual client(s) and their needs. Primarily, the approaches I utilize include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). During sessions with couples, I utilize the Gottman Method adjacent to Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). I aim to provide a welcoming and safe space for my clients that will promote opportunities for growth and the recognizable changes they wish to see. Thank you for being here, I hope you are proud of yourself for taking this next step.

I have lived in the Olympia area most of my life. I have built a life here with my husband and our two children. I love to garden and be outside, but I also enjoy video & board games or a good fantasy book. 

I work with adolescents and adults moving through life's transitions and challenges. Each person's journey is different, so I aim to use techniques that fit each individual's needs. I use an integrative approach stemming from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I use techniques such as play, expressive art, and talk therapy. 

I focus on creating a safe space for people to explore difficult emotions and use a collaborative approach to help clients reach their goals. 

Hi there! My name is Makayla (she/her/hers). I’ve lived in Washington all my life, but I love to

travel to new places and experience different cultures and foods. My therapeutic philosophy

integrates various techniques and insights from my mentors during my master’s practicum. I

firmly believe that each individual possesses the inherent capacity to navigate their challenges;

they often just need time and a safe space to explore and discover these solutions.

As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment for you. I am committed to

embracing neurodiversity, affirming LGBTQ+ identities, and promoting a sex-positive outlook. I

employ a mindfulness-based approach to help clients expand their coping strategies and

enhance their overall well-being. My ultimate goal for my clients is to equip them with the tools

they need to not just survive but thrive in a world that may not always cater to their needs.
