Hi there, I'm Cathleen! I know how hard it can be to ask for help, but by reaching out, you’ve already begun your journey toward healing and growth. I am excited to work together! I provide compassionate care to individuals navigating mental health challenges with a focus on inclusivity and respect. I help clients work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based methods. I’m committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where all identities are honored. My goal is to empower you to cultivate resilience and emotional well-being.
Therapy is a partnership. We’ll work together to set goals that are meaningful to you and adjust them as your needs change. I’m here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re feeling anxious, stuck in depression, managing family dynamics, or wrestling with identity, my therapy space is built to meet you with compassion and strength to help you.
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other as I gather some background information and learn more about what brought you to therapy. I understand how important it is to find a therapist you truly connect with—that feeling of the right 'vibe.' My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and comfortable as we begin this journey together.
