About me

I am licensed in Missouri with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. I have experience in the specialized areas of self-harm and sex-trafficking, and substance use. I also have experience working with motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I've worked with teens for a long time, and I understand the unique struggles that come with being on that part of life's journey. I also understand that when you add trauma, low self-esteem, bullying to that, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I believe that you already have what you need inside you to find the hope and create a life worth living. I'm here to support you and encourage you and assist you in drawing on what you already have, as well as giving you some more tools, to do just that.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!

When my husband and I started therapy we were a little uneasy as we were unsure if we would be matched with someone we both liked and that would be easy to talk to. Cathy ticked all the boxes and we continue to see her. We both would recommend working with Cathy

Cathy is very helpful and mindful of what I need. She listens and also is considerate of what works for me and what doesn’t. Would recommend her to anyone. I’ve had many therapists and she’s top notch.

I have found my sessions to be incredibly helpful. I reached out initially due to a major stressor in my career. They were able to help me organize my thoughts and emotions. I was able to work through the issues and now continue to help with ongoing life day to day struggles. It’s been really helpful!

Cathy is amazing. Honestly don’t know what I would do without her advice and expertise. She gives me such a better outlook on the situation I’m in and has really helped me overcome a lot.

Love her!

Cathy is professional and personable. As someone who avoided therapy for much of my life, I found her sense of humor and humility to be relaxing. She listens, relates, and doesn’t make you feel guilt for how you feel or how you see a situation. She does give an honest portrait of your situation and gives you tools to help you address and move beyond your challenges. That was big for me. I wanted action steps and she delivered with simple things to start and then we built upon that foundation. I couldn’t encourage meeting with her more and my wife and I hope to start couples sessions with her soon.
