Catherine is passionate about working with adults, college students, and teenagers (16+). She specializes in depression, anxiety, trauma, spiritual concerns, complex family dynamics, and life transitions. Having experienced her own loss, she has deep compassion for those navigating grief and finds purpose in helping others heal. Catherine also has a heart for cross-cultural ministry and has lived and worked overseas.

Believing that healing comes through relationships and story, Catherine’s counseling approach is grounded in narrative therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She is also trained in EMDR, an evidence-based tool for healing trauma and anxiety. Her professional background includes medical social work with mothers and children, as well as community-based care for adults facing significant mental health challenges.

From a young age, Catherine felt called to be a therapist and is drawn to the hope found in people’s pursuit of wholeness and joy. She takes a holistic approach to healing, creating a safe, empathetic space where clients can explore their story and develop tools to move forward. She believes we are all in the process of becoming—and each of us is graciously invited to take an active role in who we will become. Catherine considers it a deep honor to be even a small part of someone else’s journey toward flourishing.

Catherine earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Baylor University and is a Licensed Master Social Worker. She is active in her local church in Austin and enjoys camping, live music, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
