Hello, I'm Cathy. My philosophy is that our bodies are incredible machines; they can heal from most anything if we take care of them. Recently, I became certified in Nutritional Psychology, and I firmly believe the Gut-Brain Axis explains how our gut health directly impacts our mental health. Together, we can work to decrease or eliminate any mental stressors you are experiencing by healing mind and body as one cohesive unit. I graduated in 2010 from Lincoln University in Missouri with an...
I believe that every person holds the power and resources necessary to find happiness. As a trans woman I understand both the external and the internal forces that create self-doubt and spike fear—the loneliness, the separateness, and the tailspin of uncertainty. I know, too, from professional and personal experience that self-acceptance and happiness are within everyone. Science upholds this belief, telling us that those who seek help benefit from it. For me this is not a theory, but the p...

With the client, I will explore needs, motivation for change, and set goals that are achievable and desirable. I will do this in an authentic, safe, affirming way that is m...
I have specialized training in traumatic stress and addiction and use an attachment focused perspective taking special care to understand present difficulties in the context of early relational experiences. As a therapist I believe that symptoms resulting from stressful life experiences can be treated using validated scientific interventions. Addiction can often accompany traumatic stress. In an effort to cope, individuals frequently find themselves trapped by the comforting yet costly effects o...
The emotional and social challenges that come with pursuing educational and career goals are often overlooked. After several years working at the Texas State Legislature, I decided to return to school to become a therapist. I was drawn to this path by a desire to meaningfully support young adults as they navigate the complex transition into adulthood. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can develop coping strategies, explore deeper issues, or simply have a place to talk thin...

I welcome the individual that is curious to understand the myriad of feelings, patterns and issues in one's life. I create space to be known and understand the self.
