I have several passions: 1) I help women struggling with depression and self esteem, especially as they age, to find meaning in their lives. 2) I help parents raise kids who will want to come home for Thanksgiving...and you'll want to see them. 3) I help parents who have made a decision not to work to be full-time stay-at-home parents feel confident and validated in their choice. There is no more important work than successfully raising the next generation. 4) I help seniors dealing with aging issues, depression, and addictions. 5) I help all adults dealing with addictions, depression, and anxiety.

My counseling style embraces the principles of Positive Psychology, which is based upon the belief that we should be as concerned with a person's strengths as well as their weaknesses. This approach takes a client-centered approach; building the best parts of an individual's life, as well as repairing the worst. I believe in using a kind yet direct approach with my clients working in a non-judgmental manner meeting clients directly where they are in life. My strong belief in the healing process has allowed me to have the honor of being a part of positive change in the lives of my clients.

Transformation only happens in relationship. The absence of a relational home for transformation generally leads to superficial temporary changes. We make ourselves stuck by building walls of protection around us, which probably made perfect sense at the time. However, walls of protection eventually become walls of constriction. These walls lead us to the illusion of having no choices in our situation, to the belief that life is happening to us, instead of what is true, that we are living our lives and making choices of how we live life.

I have 30 years of experience treating adults and families. I use an authentic and compassionate approach, celebrating diversity and differences. My modalities include EMDR, CBT, DBT, nonviolent communication, nature, spirituality, art, play and mindfulness. I specialize in trauma, family change, depression, personal growth, addiction recovery and anxiety.

On the outside, you look super successful, likely the poster child for how things “ought to be”. You went to a good school, have a rewarding career and maybe got married and had some amazing kids. You have done what you expected would make you FEEL accomplished, grateful, and happy. Except that you don’t. Lately, coloring inside the lines isn’t giving you the same ‘HIT’ it used to. Instead, you are wondering “Whose rules are these anyway and why do I need to keep following them?” The gap between what is expected and how you truly feel inside keeps growing wider. You're tired- and feeling alone, disillusioned, and conned.

I offer individual, family and couples psychotherapy in a supportive environment. Regardless of why you're seeking therapy, I'm here to help you. Do you ever wonder why you repeat the same patterns in your relationships? Do you find yourself thinking the same negative thoughts? If so, you're not alone. To be heard and understood is a basic human need. It's hard to find someone to talk to and someone who will listen. Together we'll explore the connection between your behaviors, thoughts and feelings and how you can learn to control them.

You are the guide on this journey. You deserve the freedom to grow in a way that is meaningful and valid for your voyage in life. You will not be lectured or pressured to pursue a path that is not yours. Growth takes time, energy, and empathy. Vulnerability is challenging, and I will do my part to create a space where you feel comfortable to process these experiences. I will celebrate your success and be there for during life's missteps. I am honored and look forward working with you.

Life can be challenging and there are circumstances for many of us where we need assistance to navigate the difficulties we find ourselves facing with a professional.

Psychotherapy is a profound journey of self-discovery, allowing you to forge a deeper connection with your authentic self, a place to work though life's challenges and pave a way for growth, resilience and personal fulfillment. There is tremendous value in designating a time to prioritize yourself and focus on your needs and goals. I strive to build an environment that is open, where curiosity and compassion thrive, and one that honors your unique perspectives and identities. Together we can cultivate a new relationship to your own experiences and thoughts, and build effective strategies to navigate life's inevitable hurdles.

Maybe you are asking yourself; some of these questions. - How can I stop worrying so much? How can I find hope again? How can I develop the relationships and connections I truly desire?

I'm Catherine, and I'm here to offer you my wealth of experience as a mental health counselor. My career has revolved around helping individuals adjust to disability, cope with trauma, and address alcohol and drug use disorders. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with both adolescents and adults across diverse settings, from state welfare programs to residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. I hold the Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) title and earned my master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Portland State University.

I have a passion for hearing people's stories and helping them find their place in this world. I believe we all have a desire to be happy and to feel whole. We have a core desire to feel wanted and loved and the first step is learning to love ourselves. Therapy can help you achieve that desire. The mind is the control center of behavior and emotion and if we can work through negative thought patterns together and help you realize the strengths that already lie within you, we can together create a healthier, happier YOU. My goal is to help you gain a sense of trust in yourself, and an openness to experience life to the fullest.
