I have felt extremely heard during my first two sessions and already have a variety of tools and techniques to help me. I have no doubt that Catherine is listening and practicing in an evidence-based and compassionate way.

Cathy has been a fantastic resource for me! She has taken the time to really get to know me and can pick up on subtle changes in my behavior even before I do! She's become someone I trust and feel confident I can rely on for advice without judgement.
