Out of network providerCatherine is a compassionate and skilled Psychology Associate in Washington, DC. She is pursuing her PhD in clinical psychology with a specialization in diversity and social justice at Fielding Graduate University. In addition to her therapeutic work, Catherine also works as a credentialed executive coach and organizational development consultant and trainer. She is particularly interested in the intersection of work and mental health and understanding individual experiences through a systems lens. Catherine has worked with individuals and organizations in government, nonprofit, and corporate sectors, and enjoys both individual and group work.
While Catherine draws from several treatment modalities, the core of her work is influenced by humanistic and person-centered perspectives. This means seeing an individual as a whole person with unique needs, values, and experiences, and grounding work in the belief that we all have an innate drive and capacity for growth. She is comfortable sitting with people in some of their toughest times, both holding space for the current pain and finding ways forward into the light. She uses culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approaches and believes in the power of humor when we can find it since it can be a lot to feel so heavy all the time.
