If your child is living with anxiety, you have probably tried everything you can think of to help: books, blogs, advice from friends. Maybe there’s been a stressful event in the family, and you’ve noticed it’s been hard to bounce back. You just want to help your kid get back to being the bright, creative person you know and love.

Hi! My name is Katie. I’m a counselor who works with tweens and teens dealing with anxiety and OCD. I use child-friendly therapy techniques to help kids learn how to overcome fears, free themselves from compulsive behaviors, and adapt confidently to changes and hard times in life.

As someone with OCD, I know how hard it is to find treatment that works. Regular talk and therapy don’t always work for this kind of anxiety: kids need a more direct and skill-based approach to overcome their fears. If you’ve tried therapy before and felt like your child “just played” the whole time, this will be different.

Therapy with me is goal-oriented and focused on making progress, while also being playful and creative. I want to help you and your child learn practical tools to manage anxiety, both now and in the future.

If you’re looking for a children’s therapist in Davidson, North Carolina, reach out to learn about how counseling could help your family. Families of all backgrounds are welcome in my office.


I look forward to hearing from you!
