Cathy has been awesome with talking me through situations that are going on in my life.

Ms. Cathy has been very helpful in me figuring out what is causing me to have issues. After only two sessions I was well on my way to protecting myself from unhealthy behaviors, learning to put myself first, and learning how not to take on everyone else’s baggage. She has taught me healthy ways to communicate. I’m so excited to see where this new found ability to let others keep their problems and put myself first will take me.
