As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the unique emotional landscapes of adults navigating significant transitions, relationships, and personal growth.
I specialize in helping clients address depression, drug and alcohol issues, anxiety, domestic violence, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem challenges. My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding, heal from past experiences, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.
My practice centers on creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with their inherent strengths. Whether you're struggling with life transitions, interpersonal challenges, or seeking greater emotional resilience, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.
I welcome individuals from all backgrounds who are ready to engage in thoughtful, compassionate self-exploration and personal growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great!
Catherine is so pleasant to work with. Therapy has been a safe space for me to dive deeper into solving the problems in my life and understanding the role I play in them. I have been able to shift my energy drastically and stay focused on my goals while practicing self love. She is very helpful and has a great understanding of family dynamics and social interactions.
Catherine has been very helpful already in a short period. I am happy with our work!
