Psychodynamic Psychotherapy & EMDR
in Williamsburg/Greenpoint, Brooklyn & Telehealth Across New York
“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” -Søren KierkegaardDepth-oriented psychotherapy for adults seeking to understand longstanding emotional patterns, attachment experiences, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for Adults
I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, their emotional experiences, and their relationships.
Psychodynamic therapy explores how early relationships, attachment experiences, unconscious patterns, and previously developed ways of coping influence present-day emotions and behavior. Together, we examine the underlying dynamics contributing to anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and recurring emotional patterns.
Rather than focusing exclusively on symptom reduction, this work aims to develop greater self-understanding, emotional flexibility, and lasting changes in how you experience yourself and relate to others.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy used to address traumatic and distressing experiences that continue to affect present-day functioning.
I integrate EMDR into treatment when clinically appropriate, including work with trauma, anxiety, panic, phobias, and adverse life experiences. Treatment is individualized, taking into account each person's history, emotional capacity, and readiness for trauma processing.
If you're ready to understand what's keeping you stuck and begin approaching your life and relationships differently, I invite you to reach out for an initial consultation.

TESTIMONIALS
Catherine has a great balance of knowing when to challenge me and when to offer support and validation. I always feel heard, understood, and never judged.
She has a thoughtful, holistic approach to therapy and uses different therapeutic modalities, including EMDR.
I’m genuinely grateful I found her. She is a compassionate and highly skilled therapist.
-D.A.
Working with Catherine has transformed my life in so many positive ways.
It is hard work, and the benefits are life-changing. Cannot recommend highly enough.
-J.F.
I’ve been working with Catherine for over three years. I was new to therapy and pretty guarded when we started, but over time she helped me open up and feel safe being vulnerable.
-M.M.
I came to therapy to work on self-esteem issues after a bad break-up. Catherine helped me gain insight into why I struggle in romantic relationships, to identify my needs, and helped foster the confidence to communicate them.
-A.R.
After years of therapy with multiple providers, Catherine was the first therapist who helped me make actual changes. In two years, I made significant progress with anxiety, childhood trauma, body image, and how I talk to myself.
Her knowledge, experience, helped me build healthier relationships and learn how to set boundaries with my family. Most importantly I feel more grounded in myself.
-J.R.
I’ve seen a real difference in my anxiety since starting the work with Catherine in 2017. I’ve become much better at accepting the present instead of always trying to control what comes next. She has helped me understand my patterns and fears.
