Cathryn is a joy to work with! She helps get to the root of my feelings/emotions & provides a safe space for me to work through them. I look forward to all of our sessions, and I feel she has helped me make great progress in the just over a month that we've been working together. There is no one beside Cathryn that I would like to help me on my journey!

Hello! I'm Cathryn and I have been a professional counselor for seventeen years. I own my own practice and I also work for a non-profit substance abuse agency. I returned to school in my forties and sandwiched between my course work, peanut butter and jellies, and three young children, I embarked upon an academic journey that opened my world to new possibilities. If you think it's too late to make some changes in your life, I assure you that it's not! While I could dazzle you with my grasp of theoretical leanings, when it comes right down to it, the relationship we create together is the most important. My job is to create an environment that is trusting, warm, caring and safe. Your job is to talk, talk and talk some more. Together we will journey, but you will lead.
If you are looking for couples therapy, I am your girl. Unless you are dealing with chronic infidelity or domestic violence, experience has taught me that there is usually a pathway back to " that loving feeling." Couples typically present when things are broken. Months, or possibly years, have past without addressing the stuff that leads to hurt, frustration, disappointment, and the biggie - resentment. In therapy, you will learn healthy communication skills that allow for positive conflict negotiation. You will also learn the importance of stating expectations clearly so the likelihood of having your needs met increases dramatically! While this process is not always easy, the benefits are worth it.
I look forward to working together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Cathryn is extremely experienced and I am very satisfied the better help connect us. Not only are our sessions very good she also comments on my journals and provides insights to what I am journaling. I am very satisfied with Cathryn and I look forward to all my sessions with her. Although my situation to me is very difficult to deal with, I have much confidence that I will be able to work through my concerns with Cathryn.
We have only met online twice so I can’t say much yet about outcomes from therapy. But she is very nice
