About

Healing through self-awareness, Creativity, and Compassion

Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse—it can show up as irritability, brain fog, exhaustion, or feeling disconnected from yourself. At Emotional Wellness & Counseling, we help you outsmart burnout by understanding what’s really driving it—whether it’s chronic stress, ADHD-related overwhelm, perfectionism, or emotional depletion. Together, we’ll rebuild your rhythms, restore your energy, and reconnect you with what truly matters. What Healing Looks Like Understand your unique burnout pattern. Identify where overwhelm shows up in your thoughts, body, and habits. Rebuild nervous-system balance. Learn practical grounding and sensory-regulation tools to move from fight-or-flight to calm and connected. Shift from perfectionism to permission. Release the belief that worth equals productivity. Create sustainable routines. Design rhythms of rest, focus, and connection that actually fit your energy. Reconnect to meaning. Clarify what nourishes you — so life feels aligned, not just managed. Let’s start this journey together. Click below to get started.

Helping a client with overwhelm and anxiety 2025

“"I have learned so much about myself and how my brain works with Cathy. Discovering a late adult diagnosis of ADHD in my 40's was hard for me to accept. I have learned how to work with my strengths instead of trying to work against them". ”

Theresa, a client struggling to manage adhd symptoms, 2025

“"Therapy has been a transformative journey for me, especially as I navigated the complex grief stemming from family drama. Cathy has taught me the importance of setting healthy boundaries, empowering me to prioritize my own well-being".”
