Therapy for the complicated & beautiful experience of being human.
In-person therapy in Seattle, WA | Online therapy throughout Washington & Texas
Sex, intimacy, relationships, identity, and everything in between.
Therapy for individuals and relationships of all structures who want to better understand themselves, challenge familiar patterns, and build more authentic connections.
Rooted in curiosity, compassion, a little humor, and the belief that meaningful change doesn't require abandoning who you are.
You don't have to have it all figured out.
Maybe you're feeling stuck in familiar patterns. Maybe your relationships are asking something of you that you're not quite sure how to give. Maybe you're questioning things you've always believed about yourself, your body, your desires, or the way you're supposed to move through the world.
Or maybe things are going pretty well, and you're simply curious about what else might be possible.
Whatever brings you here, you don't need to arrive with the right words, a perfectly articulated goal, or a five-year plan for becoming your best self. (Thank goodness.)
Therapy can be a place to slow down, get curious, and explore the stories you've inherited, the patterns you've developed, and the possibilities you haven't quite imagined yet.
We don't have to know exactly where we're going to begin.
Hi, I'm Cat.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist working with individuals and relationships of all structures.
I believe meaningful growth happens when we feel safe enough to get curious and supported enough to challenge ourselves. My approach is grounded in compassion, laughter, gentleness, and a willingness to explore the sometimes messy, surprising, and deeply human experiences that shape our lives.
I'm trained in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy and EMDR, and I draw from narrative, somatic, and relational approaches to support meaningful, sustainable change.
I won't tell you who you should be or what your relationships should look like. But I will bring curiosity, perspective, and the occasional compassionate challenge as we explore what feels most authentic and meaningful to you.
Ways We Can Work Together
There isn't one right way to be a person, have a relationship, or experience intimacy. Our work will reflect your unique experiences, values, and goals.
Individual Therapy
For exploring identity, healing from trauma, navigating relationships, reconnecting with your body, and developing a more compassionate and trusting relationship with yourself.
Relationship Therapy
For relationships of all structures who want to better understand their patterns, navigate differences, strengthen communication, and create more intentional ways of connecting.
Extended Sessions & Intensives
For individuals and relationships looking for more time and space to explore complex experiences, deepen therapeutic work, or focus intentionally on a particular challenge.
Let's Talk About Sex.
Or Not!
Being a sex therapist doesn't mean we have to talk about sex.
You don't need to be having sex, wanting sex, or even interested in sex for my training to be relevant to our work.
Sex therapy is about so much more than sexual behavior. It informs the way I understand our relationships with our bodies, our desires, our boundaries, and our capacity to experience connection on our own terms.
I'm particularly interested in consent—not just the consent we negotiate with others, but the consent we practice within ourselves.
How do we recognize what we actually want? What happens when our needs conflict with someone else's expectations? How do we learn to listen to our bodies, trust our experiences, and make choices that reflect our values?
These questions matter whether we're exploring sexuality, relationships, identity, trauma, or simply what it means to feel more at home in ourselves.
Connection Without Losing Ourselves
One of the things I find most fascinating about relationships is how easily we can lose sight of ourselves while trying to stay connected to others.
We learn to accommodate, protect, perform, withdraw, pursue, or keep the peace. Often, these patterns make perfect sense when we understand where they came from. But sometimes the very things that once helped us feel safe or loved become the things that leave us feeling stuck.
My work is informed by the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, narrative therapy, somatic approaches, and a systemic understanding of the world we live in.
I'm particularly drawn to the idea of differentiation: learning to remain connected to ourselves while making room for the differences, desires, and experiences of others.
This isn't about becoming more independent or less invested in our relationships. It's about developing the capacity to stay connected without needing to agree, fix, accommodate, or abandon ourselves in the process.
Together, we'll get curious about the patterns that shape your experiences, explore how your mind and body respond to the world around you, and make room for new possibilities.
Because you can care deeply about other people without disappearing in the process.
