Hi, I’m Caitlin.
There's a difference between holding it all together and feeling whole.
You might be the achiever, the fixer, the person everyone depends on. From the outside, everything looks fine. Inside, you're exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can't quite explain.
You deserve more than just getting through the day.
I believe meaningful change begins with understanding and accepting yourself. In therapy, we'll explore what shaped you, question what's keeping you stuck, and discover healthier ways to navigate your emotions, relationships, and everyday life.
I'll bring compassion, curiosity, and honesty to the process. Together, we'll work toward greater peace, confidence, and the freedom to be yourself.
Clinical Experience
For over 10 years, I've provided evidence-based psychotherapy to individuals and couples in inpatient and outpatient addiction and mental health treatment programs, as well as private practice settings focused on depth-oriented, trauma-informed psychotherapy.
My approach to individual and couples therapy is person-centered, relational, and experiential. I honor each person's unique identity and strengths, balancing compassion with honest exploration to address both immediate challenges and their deeper origins. I build genuine relationships where people feel understood, supported, and comfortable being themselves.
Above all, I believe everyone has the capacity for change and peace.
Clinical Specialties
I help clients heal from depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship struggles, and professional burnout. Many of my clients carry the weight of high-pressure, high-demand professional roles. Others are seeking relief from creative exhaustion. Most hold deep emotional wounds from relationships.
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), parts work, attachment theory, and somatic and mindfulness practices to meet the individual needs of each client.
I am also trained in using EMDR trauma therapy to relieve the impacts of painful past experiences. In couples therapy, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners break conflict cycles and deepen emotional connection.
Throughout my work, I help clients cultivate self-compassion, make peace with regret, move through shame, reevaluate perfectionist standards, and confront their inner critic. I encourage clients to value caring for their needs to support a secure sense of self-worth.
