Great to meet you!

At The Curious Cat Therapy, I work with tweens, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, family challenges, and life transitions. I enjoy working with motivated clients who want to better understand themselves, build new skills, and create meaningful change. As a therapist, I offer a supportive approach that balances compassion with accountability. Together, we'll identify patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward healthier ways of managing life's challenges. I bring authenticity, curiosity, and humor into therapy when appropriate, creating a space where growth feels both achievable and genuine.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, family dynamics, and life transitions. Whether you're feeling stuck, struggling with relationships, facing a new chapter in life, or trying to manage overwhelming emotions. My goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and create lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Life can be messy and overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. If you're looking for a therapist who is compassionate, direct, and brings both practical tools and humor to the process, I'm here to help. Taking the first step can be hard, but it may also be the beginning of something better.
