Catherine’s practice emphasizes clear assessment and collaborative planning. She has extensive experience completing comprehensive psychosocial assessments and developing individualized, data-informed interventions for clients with special needs, challenging behaviors, severe and persistent mental illness, and post-traumatic stress.

Outside of her professional life she is devoted to family, travel, and veterans causes, and draws on lived experience as a parent to four children when working with families undergoing transitions and milestones.
