The Passion and the Heart of Uprooted
Hello! I’m Dr. Katie, a licensed mental health counselor serving the state of Florida. I hold a doctorate of education in Community Care and Counseling with a focused interest in trauma. I specialize in grief, with a passion for supporting those affected by homicidal loss.
I believe in a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach, inviting you to come as you are. Our personal attachments and connections shape many of our behaviors and expectations. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate these challenges, explore ways to overcome them, and reconnect with your true, authentic self. I believe that the answers we seek are already within us—we just need the space and support to discover them.
"Man's greatest achievement is not to have survived, but to have found a meaning in his suffering."
