About me
Hello, I’m Catherine…
For much of my life I struggled with connection. I had close friends and family but struggled with relationships and truly feeling known. I had a successful career in consulting and corporate work, yet I was depleted. Life felt heavy and full of effort.
I turned my focus inward to uncover what I truly wanted and what was holding me back. I dug deep -- working through experiences and relationships that influenced my perceptions of me. Psychotherapy was an instrumental part of my process. I reconnected with my heart, my joy, and my true nature. Life became lighter and the tough stuff more manageable. I pursued new adventures and developed more fulfilling relationships. Inspired through all of the change and growth, I finally had the courage to shift careers to become a holistic Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, pursuing an inner calling I have had for as long as I can remember.
Finding My Truth and My Path
I now love the path I am on. Through the combination of psychotherapy and mindfulness, my spiritual beliefs about the connectedness of people and experiences, my focus on physical health and wellness, and my ever-growing trust in intuition, I have become much more personally empowered. I live more consciously and am inspired to help others do the same.

Shaping a Passion Into a Profession
My approach is shaped by my personal journey in therapy and experience with diverse therapeutic modalities, alongside ongoing education and training. I hold a Master's degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, the first East-West transpersonal (spiritual) psychology program in the United States. Embracing a holistic perspective, I consider the heart, body, mind and true nature of those I work with, guiding clients to look within, be with their truth and uncover more of their innate value.
