Cathy is known for her personalized approach, which focuses on each person’s unique needs and challenges. Her primary goal is to help clients discover purpose and meaning in their lives, a journey she supports by assessing essential aspects of well-being, including sleep, nutrition, and safety. Whether clients are seeking help for personal growth, emotional well-being, or specific mental health concerns, Cathy works alongside them with genuine empathy and respect.

She is skilled in trauma-informed therapies like EMDR and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), which help individuals process painful experiences and move forward with resilience. Cathy’s approach is grounded in her belief in “Logo Therapy,” which centers on understanding the meaning behind one's personal story. She encourages her clients to explore the question “So what?”—an inquiry that empowers them to define what their experiences mean to them and guides the direction of their healing process. In her practice, Cathy treats a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, depression, and midlife transitions.



She specializes in supporting individuals dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder, insomnia, and chronic pain management, applying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to foster positive change. Cathy works with diverse populations, including military veterans and their families, individuals with developmental disabilities, and the adoption and foster care community. Her inclusive approach ensures each client feels valued and supported, no matter their background. When she’s not in the office, Cathy finds joy in the outdoors, whether skiing, biking, hiking, or even playing pickleball. She also enjoys quiet time spent reading and writing, often immersing herself in the complete works of her favorite authors.
