Hi, I’m Cate! —a therapist, deep listener, dog lover, plant hoarder and firm believer that healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. My practice is rooted in compassion, humor, and the radical idea that you’re allowed to put yourself first without feeling guilty about it. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, postpartum life, work/life balance, and the messy magic of figuring out who they are when they stop living for everyone else. Whether you're going through a major life shift or struggling to say "no" without a 4-paragraph explanation, you're in the right place.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
We’ll start with introductions, and I would like to get to know the basics about why you are seeking therapy. I also like to talk about previous therapy history (if any) and what qualities you prefer in a new therapist. I really want you to feel like you're benefiting from treatment!
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I’m empathetic and a heck of a good listener! I love to provide feedback, provided that is what the client wants. I enjoy listening to others’ stories and finding different ways to help people achieve their goals.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Therapy with me is equal parts insight and honesty, with room to laugh, breathe, and even swear a little (or a lot) if that’s your thing. Let’s get you back to feeling like you—but with boundaries, self-trust, and a whole lot more peace.

She is direct in her ideas but not in a threatening manner while also keeping things light when necessary. I felt she was a good listener while also challenging me.

I had originally thought I was going to take my first session with Cate at a high level but since she's welcoming and easy to talk to I ended up word vomiting my life. Cate listens, takes notes, asks questions and is solution oriented. I will keep going back to her!
