Great to meet you!

At Cat’s Counseling, I take an eclectic, “curious cat” approach—drawing from a range of evidence-based methods to gently explore what fits you best. With a strengths-based and holistic lens, I help you land on your feet by honoring your natural resilience and tending to the whole self—mind, body, and spirit.

My approach to therapy

My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I weave in experiential, creative arts and music, animal-assisted therapy, and mindfulness practices, all shaped collaboratively with you. Like a calm, cozy corner for a cat, I strive to create a space that feels safe, accepting, and attuned. I’m a proud LGBTQ+ ally and offer neurodivergent-affirming care, with a sensory-friendly environment designed so you can settle in, feel supported, and simply be yourself.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you will be met with warmth, authenticity, and a calming, creative presence. Clients often share they leave feeling more grounded and at ease. I will also gently nudge you, like a curious cat approaching something unfamiliar, to explore patterns, consider new ways of thinking, and begin applying what we discover together in your everyday world.
