If insight were enough, this would already be different. Most of the people I work with have already tried to figure things out. They’ve thought about it, read about it, and often have a high level of self-awareness. But in their personal life—especially in relationships—the same patterns keep showing up, and they’re harder to think your way out of. I work with professionals, creatives, and couples who are used to being the competent ones and are ready for something actually to change.

You may have tried to fix things alone, but nothing has worked, and now you are searching for guidance you can trust. You need clarity, stability, and someone who truly understands what you are facing. Your goals are simple but powerful: safety, hope, healing, and a clear path forward.

My approach is to meet the people where they are and provide a safe space so that healing can happen. I work with the client to establish their goals and help them find ways to reach those desired goals. I have many years of experience working with first responders and am culturally sensitive. I understand the unique needs of first responders as it relates to trauma, crisis, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, job-related stress, job security, suicide, life transition to retirement, etc. I know how difficult it can be to reach out to a therapist and you want to be sure that they understand your work and life culture.

You’re constantly overthinking, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, and stuck with a body that won’t relax. Your mind races at night, you replay conversations, and even small things can feel like too much. You may have tried talk therapy, but it didn’t fully take away that underlying anxious, uncomfortable feeling. If you have ADHD (diagnosed or not), this makes sense—because this isn’t just in your thoughts, it’s in your nervous system. I help adults with ADHD-related anxiety calm the internal intensity, feel more in control, and finally experience relief that actually lasts.

As a recent graduate, I am coming into therapy with experience of 5 years working with individuals that struggle with addiction, mental health concerns, life transitions, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, and relationship difficulties. Sometimes , a person simply wants to understand why they feel the way they do, and learn how to feel safer in their body, relationships, and daily life while building a stronger sense of identity and direction. Healing is not linear, sometimes even painful but it can happen in a safe environment and with the right support.

Couples often come to me feeling disconnected, stuck in painful communication patterns, recovering from betrayal, or repeating the same conflicts without progress. Traditional insurance-based therapy often doesn’t allow enough time for meaningful deeper work, which is why I specialize in extended couples sessions and customized one- and two-day intensives. Based in Lawrenceburg, TN, I serve couples throughout Nashville and surrounding areas seeking focused, private, intentional support to reconnect, heal, and create lasting change.

Hi, I’m Catherine! I'm the kind of therapist that feels like talking with a friend. It's important to me that therapy doesn't feel too intimidating or scary - I want you to feel safe, supported, and understood while doing challenging yet rewarding work. My approach is using the lens of Polyvagal Theory, which means I focus on your nervous system and help you understand the different states of your nervous system and how to interpret the signals your body sends you to then meet your emotional and psychological needs. A lot of the work is about finding safety within your body and gaining confidence by aligning with who you truly are.

Something about your life is nagging at you. It has been begging for your attention for a while.. Part of you has started to think, “life doesn’t have to be like this”. You’re right. You notice your connections just don’t feel as fulfilling as they could be. You find yourself wishing you and the people you care about spent less time on your phones and more time truly connecting. Maybe you feel troubled by something that has happened in your past. You’ve tried to get over it, but but it still has a hold on you. You feel like you’re going through life on high alert for any impending harm or you feel completely shut down and numb.
