OUR STORY
Rooted in Resilience
Mental health care should be more than symptom management. At Rise & Renew we believe healing involves the whole person - mind, body, relationships, identity, purpose, and community.
Our approach brings together Holistic Care + Trauma-Informed Care + Resilience Building + Peer/Community Connection + Purpose & Personal Growth.
We don't just ask, "What's wrong?" We ask, "What happened, what do you need, and where do you want to go from here?"

About Me
I am so glad you found your way to Rise & Renew. My name is Katie and I am passionate about helping individuals & families navigate trauma, transition, loss, and life's most challenging seasons with hope and purpose.
I hold a Bachelor degree in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Human Services Counseling with a specialization in Crisis and Trauma. My professional training includes a Certificate in Crisis Leadership from Harvard University's National Preparedness Leadership Initiative (NPLI), where I studied leadership principles for navigating crisis, uncertainty, and adversity. I have specialized training in trauma-informed care and Resolve Through Sharing (RTS) perinatal bereavement for pregnancy & infant loss. My approach is shaped by academic training and personal experience. As a mother of three, I have walked through life challenges including infertility, loss of a child, divorce, remarriage, parenting a child with a disability, and supporting a military family. As the spouse of a retired U.S. Army Special Forces Master Sergeant, I have an appreciation for the unique experiences of military service members, veterans, and their families, including the impacts of trauma, operational stress, transition, and PTSD.
I believe that healing is most effective when it addresses the whole person. My work integrates evidence-based practices, trauma-informed principles, resilience training, and holistic wellness strategies. I am passionate about neuroscience & neuro-counseling, and the growing body of research demonstrating the brain's ability to adapt and heal through neuroplasticity. I believe that how we think and the stories we tell ourselves have tremendous influence over our well-being and ability to move forward after adversity. At the same time, I value spiritual integration, mindful movement, nervous system regulation, and meaningful connection as essential components of lasting healing and growth.
Through a compassionate, strengths-based approach, I help clients honor their experiences, reclaim their resilience, and build a renewed sense of purpose for the future. Because our experiences do not have to be erased in order for us to move forward. They deserve to be understood, honored, and integrated into the story of who we are becoming.
