How do you calm an activated nervous system? This is one of the most valuable things you can learn for your mental health. It is extremely helpful to manage triggers. Hi, my name is Cathy and I am grateful to be able to teach you about that as well as help you release energy from past trauma that is triggering you in the present.
I have been using ImTT, Image Transformation Therapy, along with mindfulness and other somatic and self-care tools to help my clients reset their nervous system. This helps you choose to be present in the world in a safe gentle way. Most of my clients are women in their 40’s and better who would like to transform their fear and increase their capacity for more. More love, more joy, more peace, more pleasure.
I work with women who have lived with trauma over time; many have also experienced single incident traumatic events. Both experiences can color how you see the world and your experiences with people in it. Reseting your nervous system can bring the true color out.
I also work with professional women with ADHD. It’s not uncommon to have the symptoms of ADHD with a history of trauma. There are a lot of similarities. The tools I work with are extremely effective.
Does this speak to you? If it does, reach out and schedule a time to meet and see if we are a good match. I am currently taking new clients and would love to work with you.
***Please note scheduling software will let you sign up for any opening on my calendar. However, openings for ongoing appointments are at 9:30, 10:45 and noon. We can discuss options by email. Or, we can wait and discuss it on your appointment day. Thank you.

Hi there, I'm Kristine.
My philosophy in life is to live life knowing yesterday is gone, today is what matters, and tomorrow is out of our control. It is important to focus on life and be mindful and aware of ourselves. I use this in my practice to help my clients become self-aware and become their happiest selves. What I find most intriguing as a mental health professional is how therapy can be so empowering and life changing when the client believes and is open for a change.
I believe strongly in my cultural values along with values of Social Work (respect, kindness, love, strong family values, gentleness, service to humanity, social justice, integrity, competence, human dignity and worth). The roles I play in life is of a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, licensed clinical social worker and a therapist. Someone who always has a leveled head and sees a way out. I pay attention to how I treat people in their most vulnerable times; hence, treat them as I would like to be treated.
*** Please note that I am only able to schedule intakes on the hour (i.e. 3:00), and cannot accommodate appointments on the half hour (i.e. 3:30). Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the scheduling platform. ***.

Penn Valley, CA - Accepting clients in CA
I hold a master’s degree in social work from the University of Southern California. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of California.
I offer over 15 years’ experience in trauma-based therapy, working with individuals (adolescents & adults) and teams dealing with life challenges. These issues include depression, anxiety, relationship stress/issues, work stress, post-traumatic stress, suicidal ideation, gender issues, grief and many more. I have had the opportunity to work in crisis intervention, intellectual disability services, prison population and active-duty service members.
I am trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), cognitive processing therapy, prolonged exposure, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and grief therapy. I believe in a comprehensive approach to helping you through your trauma, without re-traumatizing my patients. Therapy may be short term if you are dealing with situational stress or pain. Therapy can also be long lasting if you are seeking to change self-sabotaging coping strategies, beliefs, or behaviors. I am here to help you on your journey, no matter which treatment module I use, I work with what is best for you and help you meet your goals.

My practice is focused on a client-centered, humanistic approach that encompasses the treatment of individuals as a whole person. My approach offers a calming and non-judgemental environment to allow the space to explore different pathways to healing. I integrate interventions from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral therapy, mindfulness and person-centered therapy as well as solution-focused therapy. I try to empower clients to draw on natural strengths for motivation and to develop resilience towards change so that they can continue to grow and heal. I focus on replacing negative coping skills with healthy stress management so that my clients can feel empowered, embrace change and lead fulfilling lives.
