Hi there, I'm Cathlene!

Overwhelmed or feeling stuck? My goal is to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, and trauma with curiosity and compassion. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected with yourself and others in your life.

My focus

Together, we’ll build coping skills and create a personalized plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My communication style

My communication style is direct and supportive.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges. Working with trauma survivors showed me the power of therapy in healing. I’m driven by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous—therapy is a process we’ll build together over time. We’ll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
