By utilizing solution-focused and trauma-informed modalities, Catherine addresses various mental health challenges, including PTSD, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Her practice emphasizes holistic care and measurable outcomes, ensuring that each client receives support tailored to their unique needs.

“Our work together will center around addressing the barriers that keep you from experiencing the happiness, hope, and peace you wish for,” says Catherine. “My counseling approach is tailored to each client’s needs–whether it is goal-based, theory-specific, or if you are simply in search of a supportive space.”

Catherine’s impressive background includes her previous role as an Emergency Room and Inpatient Social Worker at Evergreen Hospital, where she conducted biopsychosocial assessments, provided crisis intervention, and responded to urgent cases involving child abuse and intimate partner violence. In this capacity, she collaborated closely with medical and legal professionals to ensure patient safety and continuity of care while offering therapeutic support through individual and group sessions.

Before her time at Evergreen Hospital, Catherine worked as a Special Education Teacher and Social Worker with the Bellevue School District, where she designed social-emotional curricula for students with behavioral challenges.

Catherine holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington, graduating summa cum laude, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a Minor in Sociology from Eastern Washington University at Bellevue Community College. She is an active member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and the American Psychological Association (APA), showcasing her dedication to client-centered care, advocacy, and the promotion of mental health and well-being.

“Our gifts deserve the opportunity to be identified, acknowledged, exposed, and explored. Growth is our goal in counseling; healing and wellness are the path to get there. The feeling of being heard and validated helps to open up curiosity about what is happening within ourselves,” concludes Catherine. “My goal is to leave my clients with the knowledge and techniques to move forward.”
