You've spent so much of your life wondering what's wrong with you. Maybe sex feels painful, confusing, or overwhelming. Maybe your body doesn't feel like a safe place to live, or you're carrying the belief that you're somehow "too much," "not enough," or fundamentally different from everyone else. Whether you're navigating trauma, identity, relationships, or a major life transition, you're craving something deeper than coping. You want to understand yourself with more compassion, reconnect with pleasure, and finally feel at home in your own story.

Hi, I'm Cat (she/her), a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist providing in-person and virtual therapy in Seattle, Washington. I work with individuals and relationships navigating sexual trauma, identity exploration, desire, body image, life transitions, and nontraditional relationships. My approach is collaborative, narrative, and deeply affirming, blending somatic work, EMDR, psychoeducation, and agency-centered therapy to help you understand your patterns while creating more choice, resilience, and self-trust.

I don't believe you're broken. I believe your experiences make sense in the context of what you've lived through. Together, we'll explore the stories you've inherited about your body, relationships, sexuality, and worth, while building the skills to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with yourself. Healing isn't about becoming someone different; it's about creating enough safety to experience pleasure, authenticity, and connection in ways that feel true to you. Whether you're exploring your identity, healing from trauma, navigating relationship changes, or simply wanting a more compassionate relationship with yourself, I'm here to help you move toward a life that feels more fully your own.
