She has a long history of working with anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. She also helps people recovering from domestic violence, navigating codependency patterns, and addressing family-of-origin wounds.
How Catherine works
Catherine offers support for caregivers and those facing end-of-life challenges, focusing on what matters most in difficult moments. Her style is collaborative and direct. She listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals.
Sessions emphasize practical steps clients can try between meetings and time to reflect on what is changing. Catherine values cultural sensitivity and honors faith or spiritual beliefs when they matter to the person in front of her. She aims to respect each client's values and life story while working toward realistic improvements in everyday life.
People who benefit most tend to want a steady, experienced guide to help them manage strong emotions, repair communication struggles, or find direction after a painful event. If you prefer a calm, experienced clinician who keeps things straightforward, she may be a good match.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Catherine practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work in sessions. One approach she commonly uses helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and panic attacks by practicing breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes. Another frequent focus is trauma-informed work that helps people process painful memories at a pace they can tolerate and rebuild safety in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. She collaborates with each person to identify goals and tests techniques together to see what helps. The plan can change as needs and progress evolve, and she encourages feedback about what feels helpful or not.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since they are set by the practice. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel, allowing faster scheduling, and offering shorter check-ins when needed. It can also reduce the time cost of attending appointments and help sustain continuity of care during life transitions.
