I enjoy working with teens, adults, and couples through the transitions and trials life brings while approaching it from a holistic perspective. I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, stress management, self-esteem, life transitions/adjustment, grief, academics and motivation, spiritual issues, family issues, and relationship/ marital issues. Being emotionally healthy is an extremely important aspect in order to thrive in and lead a fulfilling life. I see value in looking at what's presently going on and identifying practical ways to heal and grow. I believe real change happens when people are equipped with the right tools that help them assess their inner self and therefore respond to life situations better.
In regards to couples counseling, I primarily focus on the Gottman Institute research principals. These principals include identifying individual and couple goals in areas of Conflict Resolution, Communication Skills, Increasing Positivity, and other aspects of the relationship. A focus on these goals will help create a specific treatment program that is more effective and sustainable. Solution-focused, Emotionally-focused, attachment styles and Cognitive Behavior Therapy is also integrated in sessions.
When requested, I am happy to integrate Christian counseling to my approach.
I am conveniently located in Allen Texas.
I offer both in person and telehealth sessions.

Working with Catherine helped my husband and I work on appreciating each other more and being able to listen to each other rather than just hear each other. Our communication is becoming healthier and more effective. The fact that she shares that she also had struggled with marriage just made me normalize issues in our marriage and made me feel like we were not alone. My husband and I are in a much better place now with fewer arguments and more understanding of each other!

I always looked forward to our sessions because Catherine was constantly positive and uplifting, willing to have a listening ear and very empathetic regardless of the situation. She does a great job diving into topics to learn as much as she can about a situation, and giving holistic feedback that focuses on my goals for stress management and anxiety. Working with Catherine helped me build healthy communication practices with issues I was going through in my mental health journey. Through our time together, I was able to determine certain triggers and issues feeding my struggles and how to implement practices when I might feel anxiety-filled moments coming on. She also helped me understand small and simple practices I could implement in my daily life to reach my goals and find more Christ-centered peace.
B.S.
Working with Catherine has helped me regulate the constant fight I was in. I am now able to control my emotions. Having someone who asked questions to help get to the root of my feelings and to listen when I needed to process life events was great. I’m forever grateful for Catherine and therapy.

This has been a very eye opening experience. Going to couples counseling was a little scary at first even if we knew we would benefit. I can definitely say that my only regret was not going sooner.
