Catherine has worked in many areas from child protection to community mental health to employee assistance counselling and private practice. She has a B.A. Honours in Psychology from Western University and a Master of Social Work from Carleton University.
She uses an eclectic mix of therapeutic techniques to suit your unique needs. She is trained in CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, DDP and, more recently, EMDR. Learn more about EMDR.
Her approach to therapy is warm, empathetic and client-centred. She works through trauma-focused, feminist and anti-oppressive lenses. She uses humour in my sessions to help lighten the mood. She is also not afraid to call people out on their behaviour if necessary.
You’ll likely find her on a yoga mat or reading a book when she’s not working. She’s a single parent to an 11-year-old child and a 3-year-old cat.
