Personalized Mental Health Care: Integrating Your Mind, Body, and Emotions

Hi, I’m Cathy—a mom of two, an experienced therapist, and a lifelong learner dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and confidence. Balancing the demands of motherhood, work, and personal well-being is no small task. As a mother myself, I understand the unique pressures and complexities these roles can bring. I founded Emotional Wellness and Counseling to offer a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. In our work together, you’ll: Build ADHD-friendly routines and executive function tools Reduce daily overwhelm and mental fatigue Strengthen communication in relationships or parenting Process unhelpful patterns and build self-compassion If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to make life feel a little more manageable.

Testimonials

“"I have never felt so seen. Cathy helped me finally connect the dots between my emotional chaos, my body, and my faith.” ”

Joan, client 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, client struggling to manage adhd symptoms, 2025
