Welcome! I’m Catherine, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in therapy for women. I help women break free of anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relational changes, dysfunctional relationships, and emotional overwhelm related to various life stressors. I am certified in perinatal and postpartum mental health care for women navigating pregnancy and new motherhood. I also specialize in Christian counseling for clients who want their faith and spiritual beliefs to be part of the therapy process. One thing I see over and over in women: They are strong for everyone else but exhausted inside.
I use practical, evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you better understand your thoughts, manage overwhelming emotions, and feel more in control of your life. My approach is not one-size-fits-all—I tailor therapy to your unique needs.
I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. In our work together, I gently blend evidence-based therapy with spiritual sensitivity to support you as a whole person mind, body, and soul.
