When you call or come to the clinic, Catherine will likely be the first person you meet and you will quickly understand why she's been told many times that she "has never met a stranger." She loves learning just how closely connected we are to each other, even though we may have never met ... and we find our connections when we just start talking to and getting to know each other! When Catherine isn't at the clinic, she's likely working on a home improvement project; she is quite a DIYer. And while she is still rather new to Smithville, her family's roots are deep; she's 4th generation of a family that settled here in the 1890s as part of the MKT Railroad expansion.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate (supervised by Sidney Starling, LPC-S; LMFT-S), passionate about collaborating with clients who are on their mental wellbeing journey. I believe the future is always negotiable and there is reason for hope. Change may not be easy, and may take time, reflection, and exploration. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, or addiction, I believe we can work together to help you reach your goals.

I use a variety of modalities in counseling practice, depending on client needs. Some of my favorite therapy techniques are rooted in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, EMDR, Acceptance & Commitment therapy/Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Person Centered counseling, and Gestalt therapy.

In this fast-paced time we're living in, with so much going on, it is natural to feel overwhelmed. Allow your visits with me to be a safe space of non-judgment. I hope you will view me as an ally and advocate. Together we can explore your challenges and collaborate as you move forward on your path to wellness.
