MEET CATHERINE

I work with relational knots and stuck nervous systems.

...the things we don't put on the holiday card.
Most people don’t get stuck because they’re not trying hard enough. We get stuck because old patterns take over when life feels tender or uncertain.
I pay attention to what’s underneath “the problem” — the protective patterns, the entrenched dynamics, the old stories still shaping your life.
I help you notice and name. We create space between the tangles, and make a clear path forward.
I work with adults, couples, and families in Cedar Park, South Austin, and virtually. My approach is relational, systems-oriented, and IFS-informed, drawing from interpersonal neurobiology, mindfulness, somatic, and nature-based approaches when it fits.

If you’re feeling stuck —  you don't have to heal in isolation. Reach out.
