Meet Catherine Botes, LMFT

Hi! I’m Catherine.

I’m a warm, curious person who loves to meet friends at coffee shops or go for long walks and talk for hours about life. I love to dig deep and learn about myself and others. When I’m not with friends, you’ll find me curled up on the couch under a cozy blanket reading a good book (fiction and nonfiction!) or connecting with my husband. I'll be drinking a delightful cup of coffee, and my pup, Louie, will be snuggled up next to me. Bonus points if it's a rainy, stormy day! I tend to be quieter and more introverted, but I have a lot that goes on in my inner world.The common culprits are anxiety, inner criticism, thinking about the past, and fearing future things that might go wrong. Through my own therapy, I have learned that my story matters and how deeply it connects to my present-day life. It impacts the way I show up in relationships, my spirituality, and motivates many of the things I do. Therapy has been incredibly healing for my soul and my relationships. I have learned how to have compassion for myself, my story, and my healing journey. I have found a deeper sense of connection to myself and others that I didn’t know was possible.

My passion is providing a safe space for women who find themselves feeling stuck, disconnected, and desiring a deeper sense of knowing themselves. I work with women who want to explore their past and the ways it is showing up in their daily lives and relationships. Having had my own experience with this, I know the value of diving deep into the root system of  life experiences. It’s how I’ve found healing and began living and relating in the way I always desired. I’m here to help you find the same thing.

If you’re looking for a therapist to walk with you, laugh with you, cry with you, and support you as you journey towards healing and wholeness, let’s connect!
