Philosophy

Every individual has a dash, the day you were born – the day you die. The dash symbolizes how a person chooses to spend their time on earth. Each person has a unique story that shapes them into who they are today. Change is inevitable, and everyone is fighting a battle within. As we learn more about your dash, my goal is to create a cherished connection with you as you navigate life challenges and work on the person you want to be.

Katelyn is a student in an accelerated program at Dallas Baptist University, working on her Master of Arts in Professional Counseling. Her education and volunteer work at a children’s advocacy center has prepared her to work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups.

Katelyn enjoys spending time with her family and friends in her free time. She also enjoys taking her dog to the park, trying new restaurants, and playing card games
