Clients often describe Catherine as calm, warm, and deeply present. She creates a space where both partners feel heard—without blame or pressure—making it easier to have conversations that usually feel hard or overwhelming.
Catherine is especially passionate about working with:
Couples preparing for parenthood
New parents navigating stress, disconnection, or resentment
