Planting Seeds

Cat is very intentional in her therapeutic approach, with a goal to provide a relaxed, open, and accepting presence so that clients can get the most from her services. She believes that it is her responsibility to provide an objective sounding board that provides assurance to her clients that their thoughts and feelings are heard and valid. Cat believes that these interactions plant seeds that grow into confidence and self-esteem. She finds reward and joy in nurturing clients to bloom into their lives.

Cat is a gifted clinician in many ways and is especially adept at working with adolescent girls. She notes a commonality of changing roles and emerging identities during this time in life that can be anxiety inducing for so many. Cat has found that adding these factors into the mix of peer pressure and growing expectations can lead to confusion and a lack of emotional safety. In supporting these tweens and teens she is able to help them discern between aspirations and social expectations, build skills, and increase confidence. Cat also enjoys working with couples and supporting individuals struggling with ADHD.

In addition to her therapeutic skills, Cat is also a skilled cook. Preparing a feast with her family is one of her favorite activities. She also collects vinyl records and finds great joy and excitement in building out her collection.
