YOU can call me Cathy. In many ways, there is still a stigma around receiving mental health services. For some, their previous experience (or experiences of loved ones) has made it difficult to reach out for help. I’m here to tell you the field of mental health has evolved, much like I have as a psychotherapist throughout my career. During my studies at Monmouth University, I learned to pride myself on being authentic with clients, in and out of session, meaning I aim to “practice what I preach” every day. My clinical approach with clients is collaborative and client-centered.
I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Nationally Certified Counselor, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). Most of my professional experience is working with adolescents, young adults, & adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ASD, ADHD, OCD, self-harm, clients who have previously struggled to connect with therapists, etc.
I continuously strive to remain culturally sensitive in working with various ethnic backgrounds, nationalities, gender identities, sexualities, & disabilities. I aim to meet individuals where they're at emotionally and allow clients to guide treatment because who knows themselves better than the client? Contact me today to schedule an appointment!
