Hey I’m Cate! I’m a LMFT Associate specializing in trauma therapy . I see clients in person in San Antonio and virtually throughout Texas.
I help women reclaim their joy and build a life they love.
Through trauma-informed therapy, I help women untangle the patterns that have kept them stuck, heal from relationships that have left them wounded, and finally reconnect with who they truly are. Together, we’ll create a path forward that feels authentically yours—one where joy, self-trust, and emotional freedom don’t just exist in moments, but lead your life every day.
Reclaiming Your Joy
If you’ve been hurt by the people who were supposed to love you—whether it was a parent who made you feel like you were never enough or a partner who chipped away at your confidence—you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve spent years trying to make things better—reading every self-help book, listening to every podcast, trying to communicate, to explain, to make them see. But no matter how much effort you put in, nothing changed. So you learned to adapt, to keep the peace, to make yourself small. But deep down, you know you’re meant for more. Something in you is saying: I can’t live like this anymore.
I see you. You’re tired of walking on eggshells. You’re done shrinking yourself to make others comfortable. You want to break the cycle, not just for anyone else—but for you. Maybe you’re naturally a joyful person, but around certain people, you find yourself shutting down or slipping into survival mode. You’re ready for something different.
That’s where I come in. Therapy with me is about getting real about what’s been holding you back, untangling the patterns you didn’t choose, and rebuilding your sense of self—on your terms. Healing doesn’t have to feel like one big heavy thing. We’ll laugh, we’ll talk about the hard stuff, and we’ll work together to help you feel lighter, stronger, and more you than ever before.
You don’t have to do this alone. However you show up—whether you have it all together or you’re a hot mess with a messy bun and a reheated coffee in hand—you are welcome here. You get to heal. You get to be happy. And you get to build a life that finally feels like yours.
About Cate
I founded my practice to women stop struggling in silence
I’m a licensed therapy associate with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University and a deep passion for understanding how the mind works. I’m obsessed with parent-child attachment and love helping my clients connect the dots between their early experiences and their adult emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Using evidence-based practices, I combine emotional and practical approaches to treat my clients holistically—addressing the mind, body, and spirit to foster true and lasting change.
My philosophy is that therapy should be both insightful and actionable. While we’ll explore how your past experiences influence your present, we’ll also focus on building tools you can use in the real world. I believe understanding your brain is empowering—it gives you the foundation to rewire old patterns and respond to life’s challenges with more intention and confidence.
When I am not working with clients, you can find me chasing my daughters around the DoSeum, trying out a new restaurant (with a playground of course), and binge-listening to a podcast about mental health.
A few of my favorite things :

I’ve been where you are—overwhelmed, questioning if I’m doing enough, and feeling the weight of trying to parent perfectly. As a mom of two, I understand how challenging it can be, and I bring that understanding into every session. Therapy with me isn’t about perfection; it’s about finding what works for you and your family.
