About Catherine
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her work for trauma symptoms and difficult memories. She also uses mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies to build small, useful steps toward recovery.
Catherine trained at the University of Oklahoma and holds a Master of Social Work. She has worked in hospital and medical settings, where she supported patients and families navigating health crises and complex life events. That experience shaped how she responds to grief and uncertainty in practical ways.
Her approach treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, clarifying goals, and practicing concrete skills between meetings. Conversations are direct and compassionate, with attention to both immediate needs and long-term coping.
People who come to Catherine typically leave with clearer plans for next steps. She emphasizes tools that fit into daily life and helps people try new ways of handling stress, relationships, and work challenges.
