About Catherine
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and practical next steps that fit someone’s life. She emphasizes collaboration and gives clear tools to try between sessions.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that put the person’s goals first. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in when they match a person’s needs.
Catherine has worked in a variety of settings over 20 years and brings that breadth to each meeting. She is familiar with addiction, chronic pain and illness, first responder and veteran issues, and mood disorders among other concerns. That experience informs realistic planning and step-by-step problem solving.
People who come for help with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, parenting strain, or career stress will find practical strategies here. She encourages small changes that add up over time and supports people as they try new ways of coping.
