What Catherine does

I am a Naturopathic Doctor, providing specialty care for people who are suffering from sleep disorders and want natural treatment options.

What Catherine does best

Many people suffer from chronic insomnia, not being able to fall asleep or waking in the middle of the night for hours. I offer cognitive-behavioral therapy to help these folks learn how to sleep well again, without the use of medications. Healthy sleep is foundational to overall health, and can reduce the severity of many other conditions.

What does Catherine need?

People who are motivated to stop suffering from sleep disorders, and want to try natural treatment. Those who've had chronic insomnia and now want to re-learn how to sleep through the night in a step-by-step program.

Education

I am a graduate of Bastyr University, College of Naturopathic Medicine, with Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine Degree. While in medical school I did an intensive 1 month preceptorship at the Stanford University Sleep Disorders Center, one of the first centers to offer Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia.

B.S. and B.A. in health sciences from The Evergreen State College.

To be a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in the state of Washington, Catherine has obtained her degree, passed the licensing exam, and must continue her education by taking at least 20 hours of Continuing Medical Education each year.

Experience

As a naturopathic physician I work with people who are suffering from various sleep disorders, primarily insomnia, circadian disorders, restless legs and chronic fatigue.

I have taught sleep medicine courses at Highline Community College in their PSG Technician program.
