I'm confident that together we can work to overcome the challenges in your relationship.

It is important that you know you don't have to be alone in this journey.
Services
First, I want to tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Cathryn and I received my B.A. degree in Psychology from UCLA; my M.A. degree in Counseling Psychology from Pepperdine University, and my PhD (ABD) in International Psychology with a concentration in Trauma Response from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
Is there an issue surrounding a lack of faithfulness, money, being a parent, the in-laws, or work? Whether aimed at addressing small issues or dealing with potentially relationship-breaking challenges, therapy can help you each feel valued, heard, and connected.

In the non-judgmental, supportive environment I provide, you and your partner's individual wants and needs are combined with evidence-based techniques and therapies to build confidence, openness.By encouraging honest, empathetic communication and using strategies and techniques that aid hearing, healing, and clarity, couples counseling becomes an empowering process for both you and your partner.
A study published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress revealed that post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is perhaps more common than you think. Just over eight percent of people in our community will experience PTSD in their lifetimes, 4.7% within the past year, and 3.8% in the past six month period.
Are there significant underlying issues between your family members that need to be addressed? Even if you all grew up in the same household, you and your family members can be very different people. Large age gaps, natural differences in personalities, contrasting values or beliefs, and much more can lead to conflicts at home between loved ones.
Anger is a normal emotion to the everyday frustrations we may experience in the world. It's natural to become angry when we have a goal and it is blocked in some way. Anger isn't just one emotion, but a family of emotions that are related to each other both in our brains and in our behavior. People often give a variety of names to their angry feelings, which range from mild irritation to rage.

Prior to Cathryn I had been seeing a therapist who was just not a good fit. After a while I finally decided to look for a new therapist and I'm happy to have found her! I felt comfortable right away and the more we talked the more I felt I could trust her expertise. She's empathetic, understanding and honest. Her approach was the right fit for me and I look forward to continue working with her.

Cathryn is incredibly knowledgeable and has many years of experience. Cathryn's personable and does a great job of relating to you as well as challenging you. For me personally, Cathryn helped me be confident with being assertive and to maintain good boundaries with others.

I contacted her about setting up a appointment for my brother and his family who were experiencing a significant hardship and she was very judgmental about why my brother did not contact her himself to set up the appointment. I contacted a few other therapists who unfortunately were not taking clients and they never once had a judgmental tone or questioned why I was making the appointment. They were very supportive and even helped refer me to other therapists. I explained to her that there are times when people undergo traumatic events and need the assistance of others to help them start the process
