Hi, am Catherine ! Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help my clients manage anxiety and avoid burnout, are you a high performer? let's see what we can do to keep you up there. Together, we will identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole-person approach, addressing the needs of the mind, body, and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, therapy, and any medication that is needed to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking help can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, getting to know each other and then and then diving into the specific challenges you're facing. This is also the time to collect data related to your health, history, and family health. Then we can discuss how to proceed from here

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I provide holistic care, psychotherapy, support groups, coping skills, as well as medications are utilized to make one whole. Together we shall work to de-stigmatize mental health. The care involves continuous assessment, diagnosis, therapy, as well as evaluation. There is always a need for education and this may be provided to the patient as well as the family so that they can make better life choices. In the course of treatment if we find we need more than I can provide and that we need to refer, then I shall provide this too.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a nurse Practitioner licensed in Maryland and Washington. We work with clients with mood problems, depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma ADHD. I am currently accepting new patients and if I feel unable to be a good provider I have no problem referring you.
