About Catherine
I am a licensed clinical social worker who utilizes mindfulness and a strengths-based approach to psychotherapy. I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from Loyola University and work at Northwestern Medicine’s Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center. I have specialized experience in cancer and bereavement.
Life can throw us curve balls and we can find our normal coping strategies are overpowered by stressful situations. We can all feel isolated and disempowered during these times. However, I believe these are times that can be an opportunity for growth and a chance to learn additional tools to better handle challenging events in the future. The emotional impact illness and loss can have on both patient and loved ones is great. Through my work in these areas, I have helped clients work through life transitions, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief and trauma. I strive to create a supportive environment by actively listening and working collaboratively with my clients to reach their goals.
