Hi! I’m Cathryn, and I’m so glad you’re here! Before I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - I was always a Social Worker. What I mean by that is - I have always believed that (with adequate support and nuturing) human beings are capable of happiness, personal fulfillment, and reaching their potential. I have always strived to see the good & humanness in everyone - underneath the layers, patterns, complexity, dysfunction, and burdensome learned behaviors. I have always valued forgiveness, flexibility, fluidity, and nuance.

My priorities as a therapist are: compassion, warmth, grace, and unconditional support. I do not judge or aim to pick apart your “every flaw”. I believe that successful therapist + client relationships are based on genuine human connection, mutual respect, and natural rapport.

I chose to pursue a Master’s Degree in Social Work as the profession’s core values resonated deeply: Service, Social Justice, Dignity and Worth of a Person, Importance of Human Relationships, Integrity, and Competence. These values guide the way in which I show up for + support clients in my every day work. I will forever believe that a client is the expert of their life, has incredible strength and potential, and is doing their very best with what is accessible and available.

Outside of my office, I enjoy the outdoors, my dog, family time, travel, yoga, exercise, cooking, creative outlets, skin care routines, and the occasional reality TV binge. Being a millennial is an important part of my identity - I am both embracing the modern world and longing for simpler, less technological times. I feel my best when I am spending less time on a device and more time in real life. Beyond my practice & personal time - I feel passionate about eliminating the stigma around mental health and improving healthcare quality and accessibility.
