Hi there! My name is Catherine and I’m a mental health counselor  located in Portland, Oregon. I’m currently providing telehealth services to folks in both Oregon and Washington. As a child of immigrants, I very much hope for my practice to be a safe space for all with the inclusion of every ethnicity, race, religion, disability, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression.

I specialize in working with folks with experiencing stress, anxiety as well as those who have experienced the effects of trauma in their own lives or impacted by intergenerational trauma. In addition to talk therapy, I offer EMDR (an evidence-based trauma therapy modality) which can reduce psychological and physiological stress related to trauma. In addition, I enjoy doing identity and personal growth work with clients who are hoping to have a space to explore their thoughts and emotions and become more aligned with their values. My style of counseling is relational, conversational- a back and forth type of feel instead of the therapist being a blank wall, and I like to incorporate humor when appropriate.

Outside of therapy, you can catch me walking my sassy dog, listening to podcasts, finding new foodie sports around town, and cheering on the Portland trailblazers.
