Approach
Catherine holds a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee – Knoxville, along with a Trauma Treatment Certificate. Her clinical experience spans both inpatient and outpatient settings. Her work is deeply relational and body-aware, grounded in the belief that healing involves the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
Catherine’s passion for trauma work stems from her own healing journey in early adulthood. She understands firsthand how essential it is to be met with empathy, safety, and support. Whether clients are processing the effects of childhood trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, or working through complex relationship dynamics, she meets them exactly where they are—empowering them to move forward with clarity and self-trust.
Catherine’s approach is especially well-suited for adult individuals who are living with trauma-related symptoms, emotional dysregulation, relationship struggles, or identity-related concerns.
