We've been going to Families First for nearly 10 years. We've seen many providers and loved them all. I love that I can get in quickly when my kids are hurt or sick. No doubt they have the best pediatricians in the valley.
Catherine is a clinical social worker who speaks both English and Spanish. After leaving Utah to complete her post-graduate work in Illinois, she’s thrilled to again be living in a place that gives her access to hike in both mountain and desert landscapes.
For Catherine, the most rewarding part of being a therapist is discovering a new world in each person and then watching their confidence blossom with the new skills and beliefs they acquire. Catherine is experienced with a variety of clinical specialties including trauma-informed care, holistic therapy, family relationships and LGBTQIA affirming care. Her training includes techniques such as CBT, DBT, ACT, Family Systems, Grief, Attachment, and more.
Outside of the office, Catherine enjoys painting and looks forward to one day becoming SCUBA-certified as well as perfecting the art of keeping her house plants alive.
