Services
When the way you feel inside doesn't match the way you'd like to live, therapy is a wonderful way to create change. Depression, anxiety, loneliness, lack of direction, professional dissatisfaction, the aftermath of trauma - these are symptoms of something deeper calling out for help. Working together, we can find out what stands between you and emotional balance, happiness and strength.
Whether you're arguing over the same old things or a new challenge suddenly arises, couple's therapy can help you untangle the knots and plan a way forward. I work with couples to clarify their concerns, roadblocks and goals in moving forward.

This might include re-opening long-closed channels of communication; revitalizing emotional and sexual intimacy; and learning more deeply what each of you wants and needs from each other and the relationship.It might include addressing emotional or physical absences, infidelities or betrayals. It might include pre-marriage or pre-living-together counseling, or post-relationship separations.

Her combination of education, professional background and skilled practice make her an ideal therapist for anyone looking at work issues, relationship concerns, early-life issues and more. She's great with couples as well as individuals. If you're looking to make changes, she's someone who can really help.

Catherine is a kind, thoughtful, and resourceful therapist. She is very skilled at working with a diverse population of individuals and is really able to own her own privilege positions. If you worry about your identity not fully being seen in sessions, that is not a worry you need to have with Catherine. She has a real passion for this work and for supporting and helping your therapeutic process. My experience with Catherine is also that she sees and acknowledges my strengths, which is always a nice reflection to have from a therapist.
