Hi, I’m Catherine
My work honors the mind-body connection.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR-Certified Therapist, and EMDR Consultant-in-Training based in Redondo Beach. I also serve as Clinical Supervisor of our practice and am co-owner of Eunoia Wellness Studio.
My work is holistic, integrating EMDR, somatic practices, and attachment-focused approaches to support clients navigating anxiety, panic, trauma, phobias and fears, and other patterns that can keep the nervous system feeling stuck.

Our therapists incorporate somatic and attachment-focused approaches that explore how experiences are held in the body, nervous system, and relationships. Therapy may include building awareness of physical sensations, emotional responses, relational patterns, and what helps you feel more grounded and connected.
-
We look beyond immediate symptoms to understand the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and patterns underneath them. Therapy creates space for deeper self-understanding while helping you recognize how past experiences may continue to shape the way you feel, relate, and respond today.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively with each client to understand what they need and adapt therapy to their goals, experiences, and pace. Our approach is warm, client-centered, and grounded in respect for the whole person.
