Cathy was brilliant. She doesn’t shy away from speaking truth to you, and will bring you to new perspectives. For me, she was brilliantly encouraging and just what I needed to make it through an anxious, insecure season!

I have only had one session with Cathy to date. She seems very compassionate, listens well, and I feel accurately made suggestions to initiate a go forward plan. I am headed into my second session this week. I am very much looking forward to speaking with her!
