Feel Calm, Confident, and Connected. 

At Catalyst Therapy & Consulting, I help adults and teens managing anxiety and difficult relationships ease overwhelm, let go of tension, and quiet your mind—so you can stop replaying the past, overthinking the future, and losing yourself to stress. 

Together, we’ll help you feel calmer, more confident, and more present in your life and in your relationships.

Specialties:
• Anxiety and stress
• Adult children of critical, controlling, or challenging families
• Toxic or narcissistic relationships

 What I Help With

Anxiety and Stress

Constantly overthinking, replaying conversations, or unable to relax? Break free from the overwhelm and anxiety as we help you to ease your tension and calm your mind. 

Healing from Narcissistic Relationships

Has a relationship has shaken your sense of self? Validate your experience, rebuild your self-trust, set boundaries without guilt, and develop more fulfilling, healthier connections.

Family Tension and Conflict

Anxious, drained, or walking on eggshells because of a difficult, emotionally immature, or critical relationship? Make sense of the confusion and find peace even in difficult moments. 

Parenting Support

You want to parent differently than what you experienced. Together, we’ll shift patterns and find practical strategies that foster calm, connection, and resilience for you and your children.

Personal and Professional Growth

Ready for more but not sure what or how to get there? Challenge limits and find a renewed sense of energy and empowerment as you create a life that reflects your values, strengths, and ambitions.
