Relationships can be meaningful and fulfilling, and at times, challenging.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward,
I offer a space to understand what’s happening and find your way back to connection.

My approach

My work blends practical tools for communication and repair through the Gottman Method, with deeper exploration of patterns using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic, nervous system-based approaches. Together, we begin to shift how you communicate, how you respond, and how you relate to one another.

Relationship Healing Guiding You to Connection

You keep having the same conversation, and it never really gets resolved.
You don’t feel heard, or you’re not sure how to express what you need without it turning into conflict.
You miss feeling like you’re on the same team.
And you’re wondering whether things can really change.

This might feel familiar

I’m here to help you better understand yourself, your partner, and the patterns that have been keeping you stuck.
Together we develop the insight and practical tools to create a relationship that feels more connected, alive, and joyful.

A space to understand and reconnect

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor specializing in relationships. I work with individuals and couples to better understand themselves, improve communication, strengthen their relationships, and develop practical tools for life’s challenges.

My work is grounded in the Gottman Method, along with Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, somatic therapy, and principles from Buddhist psychology. Rather than relying on a single approach, I tailor therapy to your unique needs while integrating practical tools with deeper insight.

Wounding often happens in relationships, but so does healing. Whether you’re working to strengthen your relationship with a partner, process grief, move through a life transition, or cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself, I offer a space to better understand what’s happening beneath the surface and create a life and relationships that feel more connected and fulfilling.

Hi, I'm Cathy

And when you really think about it… it's been this way for a while. What started as just "a rough patch" now feels like a pattern you can't shake. Conversations that used to feel easy now turn into tension, distance, or silence.

With the right support, you can begin to understand what’s happening beneath these patterns. From there, communication starts to shift, repair becomes more possible, and connection can begin to rebuild. This work creates space for both of you to feel heard and move forward in a more intentional way.

Something may feel off in your relationship
