About me

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out and considering me for counseling for your child. I am currently a high school counselor and have also worked at the elementary and middle school levels. I am highly regarded in my community as being effective at helping my students. I have a great reputation and can provide references if you prefer.
I am an Approved Licensed Professional Counselor with over 18 years of experience working with adolescents and their families. I have helped clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, self-harm, parenting problems, life challenges, and lack of motivation. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse . I am a Certified Trauma Professional through IATP.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches and techniques that have proven to be helpful to others whom I have worked closely with. I would like to find the ones your child is most comfortable with and of course most effective for them. I am a kind, compassionate and honest counselor. It is important to openly communicate about counseling strategies and how they are or are not working during our time together. This will help guide our sessions so we make progress.

A few of my favorite therapies include client-centered and cognitive behavior techniques, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Impact Therapy, and Reality Therapy. DBT is basically a non-judgmental therapy accepting you where you are but helping you make changes to reach your goals of where you want to be. This therapy focuses on mindfulness, self-regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal relationships. Impact Therapy is a non-judgmental therapy using analogies to shift our thinking to a healthier frame of mind. Reality therapy accepts you where you are and then focuses on the goals you have and how you will reach your goals.
I am flexible and will work with you on a schedule that fits you best.

I am hopeful to provide my services and look forward to our therapeutic relationship and creating positive direction in your child's life! I am here to support and empower your child. I look forward to working with you!

Very compassionate!

Written on Jul 04, 2019 after therapy with Catherine for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and anger management

Catherine has been the greatest support in my life. When I first connected with her, I was right out of the psych ward, unstable and afraid. I felt no hope in getting better. She taught me skills that made me feel safer within myself and guided me in challenging my distressing thoughts. I feel like I’m part of the world again. She gave me so much hope, and that hope is what keeps me strong. I highly recommend Catherine if you are in a bad place and don’t see any way out. I feel ready to take on the world. My BPD is under control, my mood is better, and I am finally understanding what self care actually is. I can’t thank her enough.

Written on May 01, 2019 after therapy with Catherine for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue

I really respect Catherine and how she can get to the heart of the issues you are trying to work on and make you think about how to solve them yourself. It's far more effective than having someone simply give advice or sympathize.

Written on Apr 23, 2019 after therapy with Catherine for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

Catherine is calm in her responses and provides sound advice and guidance to create a safe space of discussion. I appreciate receiving practical advice from her suggested methods that I can apply on a daily basis.

Work with me!
