Catherine is a great and empathetic therapist. She really listens and helps direct unhelpful, unproductive thinking to helpful thoughts and practical actions. Highly recommend

Catherine takes the time to really listen. She seems to know when people have to vent, and when they want advice. She is compassionate and understanding. I’ve been working with her for a long time now; it’s been wonderful having someone I can consistently talk to who knows me and is there to help.
