Kat is a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern working toward full licensure and provides counseling services at AIM Counseling. She works with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Kat tailors each session to the unique needs and goals of her clients, fostering a supportive environment for growth and change. She connects especially well with adolescents, recognizing the teenage years as a formative and pivotal stage for personal development and future success.
Kat also brings specialized training and experience in athlete mental health. Kat’s world revolved around the golf course, competing at a high level. That journey taught her invaluable lessons about discipline, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. But it also exposed her to the intense, often invisible, mental and emotional challenges that athletes fac – the pressure to perform, the fear of injury, the anxiety of competition, and the difficult transition when the game ends.
Her work with athletes focuses on supporting their mental health and overall well-being while addressing challenges such as performance anxiety, perfectionism, body image, injury recovery, stress management, and emotional regulation. Kat works with athletes at every level—youth, high school, collegiate, professional, and recreational—offering a confidential and supportive space to strengthen coping strategies, sharpen mental skills, and cultivate resilience. Her goal is to help athletes optimize performance while also maintaining balance, mental health, and personal fulfillment.
Kat’s clinical approach is evidence-based and integrative, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, mindfulness, and other modalities. She is committed to tailoring treatment to the individual, with the aim of enhancing mental health, supporting personal growth, and improving quality of life both within and beyond sport.
