Hi, I'm Dionne, a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, anger management, and cultural and ethnic issues. I work primarily with adults and seniors, and I believe that the foundation of good care starts with truly being heard. From our very first appointment, my goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, respected, and understood - no matter what you're walking in with.
I believe in honesty, transparency and possibility. Believe that you can. Believe in yourself and that change will happen. You’ll see what you’re capable of. Let’s connect. I’m so glad to be a part of your journey.
As your therapist, I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. My therapeutic style is rooted in what I like to call gentle directness. I believe meaningful growth happens when clients feel both supported and appropriately challenged. I provide a warm, compassionate space where you can be yourself, while also offering honest feedback, thoughtful questions, and practical guidance when it's helpful. I won't simply listen, I will actively help you identify patterns, build insight, and develop strategies that move you toward your goals. My hope is that you leave each session feeling heard, understood, and equipped with something valuable to carry into your daily life.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, divorce, self-esteem issues, and trauma. My approach is individualized, recognizing that every person's experiences and goals are unique. I integrate evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based interventions to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I look forward to working with you on your journey toward growth and healing.
Many people reaching out to me have been looking for the same thing: someone who can see the full picture. I am Catherine, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, and offer something rare: both medication management and therapy with a single provider. After 20 years in healthcare, including a decade as a family NP, I came to psychiatric care because I saw how inseparable mental and physical health are. My goal is that every appointment leaves you feeling heard, supported, and cared for.
I believe that one of the bravest and most meaningful steps a person can take is beginning to understand their own story. My approach to therapy is holistic, recognizing the interconnected nature of emotional, mental, and personal well-being.
I am committed to meeting you where you are, working collaboratively at a pace that feels comfortable and appropriate for you. Together, we can explore and address the challenges that may be impacting your growth and well-being.
I look forward to partnering with you to gain deeper insight, foster meaningful change, and help shape the future you envision for yourself.
As a mother of six, I know that raising a family is a complicated and rewarding experience with moments of immense joy. It can also bring its fair share of stress, grief, and conflict. For the past seven years, I have worked alongside parents and teens to provide the practical, real-world tools needed to navigate these exact challenges.
