I am a professional counselor with six (6) years of experience helping people find peace, strength, and answers within themselves. My philosophy is to treat everyone with respect, warmth, and caring.

I tailor my therapy style to meet your individual needs and personality. Through the use of client-centered, motivational interviewing, narrative, cognitive-behavioral, and reality therapy, a therapy or a variety of therapies can be blended to make your journey a success.

You could not have matched someone as to Mrs. Cathy. I am able to let my fillings out. She is so supportive and encouraging.

Cathy is an amazing therapist. She is motivating, supportive, and insightful. She is the most understanding and empathetic therapist I’ve ever had. After a month of therapy, I can feel and see my progress and improvement because of her. She has helped me tremendously and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
