Cathy aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can feel heard and start to regain confidence. Cathy brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift difficult emotional patterns in close relationships.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current reactions and Client-Centered and mindfulness approaches to keep therapy grounded in each person’s needs. Sessions typically involve listening carefully, naming feelings, and practicing new ways of responding to stress or conflict. Cathy uses plain language and short, practical steps so people can try things between sessions.
She pays particular attention to issues such as parenting stress, addiction concerns, body image and eating worries, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Cathy also supports people facing life transitions like career change, divorce or separation, adoption and foster care challenges, and aging-related concerns. She works with clients affected by abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and family-of-origin patterns.
Her goal is to help people feel stronger, more capable, and clearer about next steps. Therapy is available in English and offered through a variety of online formats. Cathy believes the therapeutic relationship itself is the engine of change and collaborates with each person to find the best path forward.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change emotional patterns that keep them stuck in painful cycles. It is useful when strong feelings lead to repeated conflict or disconnection in close relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and helps people find new ways to feel safer and more connected. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening and support so people can explore choices and build confidence.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Cathy will talk with each person about their goals, concerns, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Over time she adjusts the focus based on what is helpful, keeping the work collaborative and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that feels important. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or communicate in shorter bursts during a busy week. These formats help therapy fit everyday life and make it easier to keep consistent progress.
