Catherine has specialized education and experience in Learning without Tears, Zones of Regulation, the Interoception Curriculum, Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT), and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), which she creatively integrates into her therapeutic support of children. Catherine has expertise in working with pediatric clients across a range of diagnoses and developmental levels in both outpatient and school-based settings.

She is passionate about creating engaging, play-based interventions that support each child’s developmental and functional goals. At SPOTS, Catherine is the leader of professional student education as the clinical fieldwork coordinator. Occupational therapy students complete their final degree requirements by successfully completing fieldwork.
