Great to meet you!

Many people reaching out to me have been looking for the same thing: someone who can see the full picture. I am Catherine, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, and offer something rare: both medication management and therapy with a single provider. After 20 years in healthcare, including a decade as a family NP, I came to psychiatric care because I saw how inseparable mental and physical health are. My goal is that every appointment leaves you feeling heard, supported, and cared for.

My approach to therapy

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. We will talk through your concerns, your history, and what you hope to get from care. There is no pressure to have it all figured out. Together we will build a plan that may include medication, therapy, or a combination of both, shaped around your specific needs. You can expect each session to feel compassionate, thorough, and completely judgment-free: a space where you can finally speak openly.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be focused on getting to know you, understanding your concerns and mental health history, and discussing your goals for treatment. We will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication management, psychotherapy, or both. You can expect a compassionate, thorough, and judgment-free approach.
