Hi, I'm catie.
I know how painful it can be when your relationship starts to feel like a source of stress instead of support. I’ve walked through my own seasons of disconnection, confusion, and heartbreak—and I know how heavy it can feel when the person you love starts to feel far away.
Along the way, I learned that real healing begins when we stop avoiding our pain and start facing it with honesty and compassion. That’s what I help couples do—together.
Whether you're stuck in the same arguments, feeling like roommates instead of partners, or unsure how to rebuild trust, I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort through what’s happening and find your way back to each other. My approach is grounded in curiosity, safety, and real connection—so you can better understand yourselves and each other.
Professionally, I’ve worked in a variety of settings—from crisis work with teens and families to trauma-focused care for women. What I’ve seen again and again is that when we feel seen and supported, deep change is possible.
Let’s work together to heal what’s hurting and strengthen what’s still there. A better way forward is possible.
