Meet Catherine

I am experienced at providing individual, family and group therapy, and work with people with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, life transitions and managing the stress of living in a fast-paced and ever-changing world. I specialize in offering mind-body practices and can integrate breath work, mindfulness practices, gentle movement and meditation to help calm and regulate the nervous system, manage stress and prevent burnout. I will support you in finding the best ways to reach your goals and to recognize your own strengths. I work with a wide range of people in various stages of their lifecycle from young children and families to people in hospice care at the end of life.

Interests

I love to hike and be in nature. I have a regular yoga practice and breathing/ meditation practice and a Qigong practice as well. All of this serves to help increase my energy and release and relieve stress in my body and mind. Spending time with family, friends and traveling is also part of what keeps me excited about life.
