You can call me Cathy. Are you stuck in your head, overthinking, and/or experiencing physical symptoms of depression, anxiety or trauma? As we go through the experience of life, we learn things about our environment and how to function within that environment. We are always learning and sometimes our brain solidifies messages that are harmful to our mental health, I want to help you restructure those messages so that they are more accurate or helpful. Additionally, I will assist you in the development of skills to manage strong emotions and finally assist you to form solutions to your problems.
If you struggle within your relationships, whether they be romantic or familial/social, I can assist you and your partner/family member in the development of skills to foster growth and closeness within your relationship. I have assisted couples with issues such as conflict resolution, communication, intimacy, and creating shared meaning with each other.
My overall goal for individual clients as well as my couples/families is to learn more about yourself and the people in your life. If you are ready to dive into this process and begin your healing journey, call or email me today for a consultation.
