About Catherine
My path here has crossed children's hospitals, correctional facilities, and classrooms — supporting young patients and their families at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, leading art groups for incarcerated adults, and supporting early childhood education from infancy through early adolescence. Each setting taught me something different about how people carry pain, and how making something with your hands can reach it when words alone can't.
That range is what I bring to sessions now: I meet each client, child or adult, exactly where they are, with a calm, unhurried space to work through whatever they're carrying.
You are not alone in this.
Who I help
I work with individuals and families across the age span — from toddlers through older adults — on a range of concerns.
