She brings ten years of clinical practice to the work and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Background and approach
Cathy uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals in charge of the sessions. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find and strengthen reasons to change, and solution-focused ideas to spot small shifts that lead to bigger results. In sessions she aims to be warm and interactive.
She listens for what matters, asks clear questions, and helps people try out new approaches between meetings. Many people come with concerns about eating, sleeping, anger, self-esteem, or compulsive behaviors, and she helps them break those problems into manageable pieces. Cathy works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, blended family challenges, infidelity, and communication problems.
She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work across a broad range of presenting concerns so she can often connect practical tools to each persons daily life. She practices in California and conducts sessions in English.
Cathy focuses on helping people make steady progress toward clearer thinking and better coping in ordinary life.
Approaches that fit your life, offered online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, follows what matters most to the person, and helps them steer sessions toward practical change. Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum for that change. It is useful for addiction, habit shifts, and when someone feels stuck.Choosing the right way to work is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches feels most useful for their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays aligned with changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video helps with face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief updates between sessions, or people who prefer written communication. These formats let people fit therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping steady contact with a licensed professional.
