About me

I am licensed in New Mexico with 14 years of professional clinical work experience with teens. I have experience in helping young people with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. In working with young people, I take time to involve the caregivers as it is JUST as important to keep both the young person's privacy while getting/give feedback to the caregivers. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

She is an amazing person. So full of love and care. I feel that she really hears me and takes the time to learn my way of thinking in order to really help in a way I understand. She is a warm and loving soul.

Catherine is an extremely talented therapist. She is warm, engaged, and insightful. I always leave our sessions with new insights, different ways to reframe things, and very often, additional resources that I can take a look at between sessions. She is responsive to messages that I send between sessions. I can't recommend her enough.
