As a therapist with eleven years of experience I believe therapy provides a safe space through which client and therapist work collaboratively to explore and integrate meaning from one's life experiences. Through increased awareness of one's own narrative, clients gain greater freedom to make choices around how they live in the world. This insight allows individuals a greater sense of well-being, a more defined sense of purpose, and increased internal resources for responding to life's challenges. Incorporating canine animal-assisted therapy allows for clients to have additional support as they work to achieve their goals.

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.

I work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck—even when it looks like they have everything together on the outside.
Many of the people I work with worry their problems aren’t “therapy worthy,” only to realize how much support, clarity, and relief they can gain once they start. You don’t have to wait until things feel unmanageable to reach out.
I believe the relationship we build in therapy is one of the most important parts of the process. Feeling comfortable, understood, and supported can make all the difference, so we’ll take time to see if we’re a good fit.

My clinical experience began in general private practice, and I later moved on to develop a more specialized treatment approach through an internship with The Center for OCD and Anxiety in August 2020. From there, I transitioned into my roles as Associate Therapist, Intake Manager, and Caregiver Support Group Leader until February 2024. As I believe that effective therapy includes an appropriate balance of empathy, humor, active listening, and proper guidance rooted in evidence-based practices, I utilize an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities (listed below) to tailor treatment according to the specific needs of each individual.
