I am a mental health counselor with experience working with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and marital counseling. My greatest passion and experience is with working with those experiencing grief. While I see clients of many different faith traditions and none, I am trained in Christian integration for those that wish to discuss their faith in relation to their current or past struggles.

I specialize in working with individuals who suffer from anxiety, OCD, and body focused repetitive behaviors (skin-picking, hair-pulling). Additionally, I work with individuals experiencing depression, stress, perfectionism, and those wishing to improve their ability to set boundaries in interpersonal relationships. I primarily utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which is an active approach to therapy that aims to teach you skills to work toward your therapy goals. When appropriate, I incorporate exposure with response prevention (ERP) to assist individuals in gradually challenging themselves to overcome fears.

We pride ourselves on creating a safe environment for clients to feel comfortable being themselves and not feel judged as they go through their healing process. It takes strength to be vulnerable.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed in your life? Like things were out of your control? Have you ever felt stuck in patterns that you know are unhelpful? Have you ever wanted to make a change but were unsure of how to take the first step? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then art therapy can be a helpful resource for you. Hi, I'm Catherine, and I'm an Art Therapist. Since 2007, I have been helping my clients engage in their own art making, creativity, and self-inquiry as a way to find ease among life’s many challenges. As an Art Therapist and a Registered Yoga Teacher, I can guide you in art making, mindfulness, yoga, and self-compassion to help you relieve stress, cope with anxiety and depression, restore your energy, and discover new and creative ways to cope with simply being human. I understand the healing powers of creativity, mindfulness, and yoga not only from my work as an Art Therapist but because I have experienced the profound benefits myself for chronic pain, difficult life transitions, grief and loss, and professional burnout. Because of this experience, it is my mission to help you navigate this stressful time in your life and find the tools from within to leave you feeling calm, capable, and confident in whatever situation you may be facing.

Hello! We specialize in using a holistic lens to treat individuals dealing with all sorts of struggles and transitions. We utilize a trauma informed lens, and understand trauma impacts all of mental health in one way or another.

EMDR is a main modality we utilize, as well as regular CBT talk therapy, mindfulness practices, and more.

You’re capable, intelligent, and driven — but lately anxiety, pressure, or self-doubt may feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve always been the “high-achiever,” yet no matter how much you accomplish, it never quite feels like enough. Between academics, relationships, family expectations, and planning your future, it’s exhausting to carry so much on your own. What if you could pursue your goals without constant worry, comparison, or burnout? I specialize in working with college women navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and major life transitions. College can bring independence and opportunity — but also imposter syndrome, relationship stress, identity shifts, and unresolved experiences from the past. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. Together, we’ll quiet your inner critic, reduce emotional overwhelm, and build resilience that actually lasts beyond graduation. As a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in CBT, DBT, and EMDR, I provide practical tools and trauma-informed support to help you understand your patterns, regulate emotions, and heal from what’s still impacting you. Whether you’re adjusting to campus life, navigating friendships and dating, recovering from painful experiences, or feeling stuck in anxiety loops, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and empowering. You don’t have to hold it all together alone. Therapy can be a space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with who you are — outside of grades, expectations, and pressure. Change is possible, and you deserve to feel calm, confident, and grounded in this season of life.

If you are feeling suffocated under the pressure and weight of anxiety, depression, and stress, I want to assist you in regaining an interest in life and the fullness therein. I help individuals who long to feel complete and fulfilled and who seek to better understand the meaning of self as they deal with past issues that limit their ability to do so. My goal is to assist you in overcoming issues of trauma that may have left you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled and incomplete. My hope is to provide a pathway to healing and to a more full and complete life. My approach is direct and relatable. As there is no singular or individual method to success in therapy, we will address the issues together as a team with a united front prepared to succeed. To address trauma related issues, I use CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, and Client -Centered Therapy. I believe the most beautiful pictures are created from broken pieces.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, worry, and insecurity, frustrated with themselves for repeating patterns that get in the way of having meaningful relationships. When you’re feeling stuck and hopeless, it’s especially hard to feel compassion for yourself. One of the beautiful things about therapy is that it is a space where someone else can hold compassion and hope for you until you are able to hold it for yourself. In the context of a nurturing, supportive relationship it is not only possible to resolve pain, but to reclaim a life of creativity, meaning, connection, and authenticity. Therapy is about gaining insight, but it’s also about developing skills that allow you to be more resilient and grounded. I have a passion for supporting people in working through complex trauma, anxiety, and family of origin issues. I love what I do, and that comes through in the care I provide.
