If you're visiting my website, you're thinking about whether things in your life really need to be as hard as they are. Perhaps you aren't sleeping well. Maybe your relationships are suffering. You might be tired of living a life of filled with anxiety. Or maybe you just want someone to talk through some things with.
I am that therapist. I won't just sit quietly and nod, I will work with you to make things better. I will partner with you to work on the things you want to change. We don't have to talk about your childhood (unless you want to) we can talk about what is happening in your life right now. I want you to be able to laugh in session along with talking about the tough stuff.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of Rutgers University School of Social Work in New Jersey. For 10 years I practiced as a social worker in a variety of settings including a program for pregnant teens, a homeless shelter, and a supportive housing facility. As a social worker, I have the experience of actively helping clients to solve their problems.
Are you feeling depressed, having problems sleeping, or having flashbacks of the loss? Do you feel like no one understands your grief? Do you find yourself not talking to friends about your loss because no one seems to understand? If you are you may benefit from counseling for grief or loss. Grief is defined as a reaction to a major loss which is usually experienced as a painful and unhappy emotion.
The symptoms of anxiety can be both terrifying and overwhelming. Many people report feeling like they are having a heart attack. You may have difficulty sleeping because thoughts are constantly running through your mind. You may find yourself worrying about things that you know are irrational. I specialize in helping people learn how to stop anxiety from ruling their lives.
The most important aspect of trauma therapy is for you to be in a safe relationship with a compassionate therapist. While EMDR therapy can be effective for resolving trauma symptoms you also need space for addressing other emotions such as grief and anger. Everyone's recovery from trauma is different so we will work on both helping you develop skills and providing you with safety.
Are you transgender but want therapy for other problems and need a therapist you don't need to train in gender issues?. I provide transgender and queer affirming therapy for my clients. I have a strong commitment, and many years of experience, helping people who are struggling with their gender identity.

I attended a workshop that Cathy offers for therapists wanting to begin a private practice a couple weeks ago. Cathy was incredibly thorough with every little detail and was a wealth of information! Her workshop included an E book with all kinds of links and suggestions for therapists which I found very helpful. She was very available for any questions I had and gave many options for the dates of the workshop to work with my schedule. Cathy was friendly, down-to-earth and very willing to cover whatever I needed to know. She seems to be very experienced and I can tell that her clients get a lot
