Hi there, I'm Cathleen!

I am a faith-based therapist specializing in trauma, relational issues, anger, and addiction. I work with clients who have experienced childhood trauma, abuse, abandonment, or relational wounds. My practice serves those in 12-Step/recovery, law enforcement, and first responders navigating the aftermath of difficult experiences.

My focus

I work with clients experiencing trauma-related symptoms, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, nightmares, loneliness, hopelessness, and hypervigilance. Common co-occurring issues include addiction, problematic relationships, anger management, difficulty trusting, fear of intimacy or commitment, and difficulty forgiving others.

My approach

I provide faith-based trauma therapy utilizing an Internal Family Systems approach, taking an active role in creating a supportive environment. Together, we resolve trauma and transform emotional responses by exploring traumatized "parts" from a Christian perspective. Guided imagery, visualization, and music are also utilized in therapy.
