I employ several therapeutic counseling techniques such as Short Term, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive and Trauma Based Behavioral, Person Centered, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness approaches.
After twenty years of practice, I continue to find that people are best served by a counselor who is emotionally and psychologically available to them in a time of need. I have enjoyed strong effectiveness working with depression, relationship conflict, grief, and anger management. I work with couples, older adults, teens, and children. These experiences have inspired me to incorporate multiple approaches that fit the personalities, interests and needs that people bring to my practice.

I believe that through counseling we can find value in ourselves, our adverse experiences, our mistakes, and even in the thoughts and feelings that can be difficult to share. We all reach a point in our life where we need change. I believe that in finding the value in all things and through self-discovery, we can promote change and begin to step into the life we wish to live.

I believe that clients have the ability to recognize dysfunctional patterns in their lives and, with a little help from the counselor, are able to set attainable goals to change those patterns into something more functional for their lives. I believe that motivation to change is a key component in what makes counseling successful for most people.

Hello and welcome! My name is Cat and I work with adults and teens who feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally dysregulated and unfulfilled. I especially enjoy working with individuals navigating bipolar disorder, addiction, religious deconstruction, major relationship changes, and questions of identity and purpose. My philosophy as an existential therapist is that emotional distress often stems from a mismatch between the life we are living and the life we really want for ourselves. I believe healing begins when you start to understand yourself more deeply and move toward a life that feels most true to you. Let me help you get there.

Working with people for nearly 10 years has been a privilege, and I’m grateful for what I’ve learned in that time. I am guided by three core beliefs. 1. We each have a unique life story. How we interpret that life story impacts how we live our lives. 2. How we see our present is impacted by the things that have happened to us in the past. 3. Our thoughts, behaviors, and values shape how we develop relationships and relate to the world around us. I use a holistic approach to each person’s mental health journey. You, as a person are at the center of therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
