Hi, I’m Katie
A tenacious, loving and energetic therapeutic life coach who got tired of the limitations of traditional therapy models, so I broke the mold and created my own hybrid approach! I’m a firm believer that our mind’s create our realities and healing our trauma, triggers and limiting beliefs is a part of every human’s life purpose. However, when we, as women, add in the imminent hormonal changes that are a part of this midlife mayhem era, it can make life REALLY difficult.
My practice caters to women in their late 30’s to mid 50’s who are ready to THRIVE in this season of life.
I offer a hybrid of traditional therapy, subconscious reprogramming via PSYCH-K® and peptide support including education and referrals for HRT & GLP 1 weight loss medications. This three prong approach offers a well rounded model for true healing and growth, from the inside out, healing the symptoms as well as the ROOT cause.
Early on
Childhood: I am a native Floridian and grew up in a town called Winter Park, not far from downtown Orlando. I would say I had a relatively “normal” childhood – that is to say, it wasn’t until I was in therapy that I realized I even had trauma, which I know is a story that many people share. My Dad was a lawyer who didn’t practice law but was the CEO of a Title Insurance company, and my mom was a school teacher for many years and stopped teaching when I was in the 5th grade. I have one older brother. I played volleyball and basketball growing up, loved taking care of animals and had a special affinity for horses. I made friends pretty easily, enjoyed school (up until a point) and had my first brush with therapy at age 15; I felt at the time that my parents and I weren’t communicating as well as we could.
Current
Adulthood: I describe my practice as “therapeutic life coaching” because it truly is a hybrid of traditional therapy, holistic self-care practices & subconscious coaching. My journey on this path officially began 16 years ago, when life coaching was a relatively new field that had yet to picked up by the mainstream.
This was back in 2007, when I was just starting graduate school, pursuing a dual masters in Marriage and Family/Mental Health Counseling. I remember during the first week of the program we had to go around the room and share why we were pursuing the degree and what we hoped to do with it once we graduated. There were quite a few “private practice” responses, a handful of “move on to my Ph.D.” answers and a small number of people wanted to work in a clinical or school setting.
And then there was me…
