About me

Hello! I'm glad that you are here. The following is a little about me and my counseling practice. I have been in private practice since 2009. I enjoy helping clients with a range of issues such as: anxiety, self-sabotage, family dynamics, relationships, depression, intrusive thoughts, negative thought patterns, motivation, "why am I here and what is all this for?!" a.k.a. existential crisis, narcissistic abuse recovery, self-esteem and self-worth. It is always my goal to provide clients with a judgment-free space to express themselves and I work with clients to enhance self-acceptance and self-esteem. I also encourage and teach mindfulness and utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches.

You will hear from me often! I stay in frequent contact with my clients between sessions via worksheets and messages and you can message me anytime. I recommend books and podcasts and send positive affirmations throughout the week.

I am a Master's Level Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Service Provider designation and have been a counselor since 2003. Please note that I see only clients who reside and are physically in the state of Tennessee.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to reach out any time!

Cathy is an exceptional therapist. I feel incredibly comfortable speaking to her about all my concerns. Cathy provides her insights but also allows me space to talk through the issue. She is readily available outside our weekly sessions and responds in a timely manner.

Cathy is a wonderful therapist. She listens to me and guides me towards the place I desire to be while challenging me to think about the goals. She responds quickly and gives me things to think about and/or worksheets to help me with my journey. I feel truly supported.

As someone who is new to therapy she quickly made me feel at ease and easy to open up. She’s shared lots of helpful things to reflect on/to try. Very available.
