I’ve dedicated my professional life to helping humans experiencing trauma, relational difficulties, anxiety, and depression. I have a special interest in helping folks heal from intergenerational and attachment wounding—particularly from narcissistic abuse and gaslighting, in which I have specialized training and which I approach with a combination of EMDR Therapy, Internal Family Systems (“parts work”), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I have a deep and abiding interest in healthy human sexuality and in helping people to live with more ease inside their bodies.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply off, you’re in the right place. I work with individuals who are ready for meaningful, lasting change, people navigating the stress of parenting, the weight of anxiety and depression, the challenges of ADHD, or the desire to reconnect with their true selves. Because therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about remembering who you are, beneath the noise.

Relationships are not just about fixing communication or managing conflict. They are about awareness, presence, and how we meet one another in moments of closeness and rupture. You may feel stuck in familiar cycles such as pursue–withdraw dynamics, emotional distance, or a loss of safety and trust. You are likely longing not only for relief, but for transformation that includes personal awareness and responsibility, allowing for a more honest, resilient, and alive way of relating that supports repair, growth, and deeper connection over time.

At Cat’s Counseling, we take an eclectic, “curious cat” approach to therapy, drawing from a range of evidence-based methods to explore what truly fits your unique needs. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, we gently follow what feels supportive and effective for you in the moment. Rooted in a strengths-based and holistic perspective, we focus on your inherent resilience and capacity for growth while honoring the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Together, we look at not just what feels difficult, but also what already exists within you that can be built upon, supported, and strengthened over time.
