Hello, I’m Katie. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of Simple Love Counseling.

Psychology and counseling have always been interests of mine. I've always known that I wanted to help people and when I discovered a love of learning how the human mind works, this field seemed like a no-brainer (pun intended)!

I believe that we are all deserving of love and kindness no matter your background, race, gender, sexuality, etc. A main philosophy I work off of, is that we never do things just for the hell of it. There’s always a need (emotional or physical) that we’re trying to get met but sometimes the way we go about it isn’t working. When we put things into this view, we take away the labels of “good, bad, selfish, unworthy, etc” that we often put on behaviors and people. In shifting this viewpoint, we can often see people in our life in a different light. The distant husband or nagging wife now is able to be seen as the husband who is desperately trying to protect himself from hurt and the wife who is only trying to connect and love her husband. We’re then able to connect through empathy and understanding.

Hands down, my favorite part of my job is watching a couple reconnect through raw vulnerability or watching an individual realize that they are indeed worthy of love.
