About
Hi, I'm Katie!
I'm the owner and therapist at Sandcastle Counseling.
My passion is in working with teens, young adults, children above the age of 8 and their families. I’m dedicated to supporting those struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, ADHD, peer relationships, self-esteem, and social issues. I am skilled at connecting with my clients through their individual interests and quickly building a strong therapeutic relationship. I believe that the therapeutic experience is a truly magical adventure and love utilizing different methods related to play and expressive arts.
Younger children enjoy play therapy, which is a beneficial way to connect using their natural language. We use art, imaginative play, and games to process life concerns. With adolescents and older teens, more expressive arts interventions are engaging and beneficial. I personally believe that creativity and play can help us throughout our entire life.
As a former military child, I have moved around frequently but call central Texas my home. In my personal time, I enjoy making family memories, running, and traveling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and am in pursuit of my Registered Play Therapist credential. I graduated from UMHB with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
Don't let your fears take the place of your dreams.
