“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
-Søren Kierkegaard
Why is it so difficult to change behaviors and relationship patterns that leave us feeling hurt, frustrated, or stuck, even when we recognize what isn't working?
Therapy offers a space to understand what keeps these patterns in place and begin making meaningful changes. Together, we explore how earlier relationships and experiences have shaped the way you see yourself, relate to others, and respond to difficult emotions.
Through this process, you can begin to recognize automatic emotional reactions, challenge long-held beliefs about yourself, establish healthier boundaries, and develop new ways of responding to situations that once left you feeling powerless or overwhelmed.
The goal is not simply to manage symptoms, but to change your relationship with yourself and others. As old patterns lose their influence, you can become more confident in your choices, more comfortable expressing your needs, and better able to build relationships that feel secure, reciprocal, and fulfilling.
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.

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.

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.
