Hello, my name is Catherine, and I truly believe I was born to be a therapist. I’ve been blessed with the gifts of empathy, compassion, and deep understanding—qualities that have guided me throughout my life and my work. Over the past five decades, I’ve faced many of life’s challenges and sought therapy myself. These personal experiences, along with my clinical training, allow me to walk alongside my clients with both professional insight and lived wisdom.
I understand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, lost, or uncertain. That’s why I created Best Choice Counseling—a name that reflects the power of intentional decision-making and stands for Body, Emotions, Spirit, and Thoughts. When you’re supported in connecting with all parts of yourself, you’re empowered to make the best choice for your life and future.
I invite you to reach out and schedule a session. Whether you are navigating personal challenges or seeking relationship support, you're not alone, and you're making the best choice by beginning this journey. It's scary and you're worth it!
