About Me

Hi, I’m Caitlin!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a background in Clinical Psychology and Applied Community Psychology. My experience has included community mental health, school-based services, residential and intensive outpatient treatment, clinical research, and private practice.

These experiences have broadened how I understand therapy and the many factors that contribute to who we are. Our individual experiences, relationships, identities, cultures, communities, and environments all play a role. I approach each person with curiosity about the full context of their experience and what feels meaningful to them.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in early childhood development. That experience deepened my interest in how our earliest relationships and environments can influence the ways we understand ourselves, connect with others, and navigate life.

My Approach

I believe therapy can create space to understand yourself more fully. Our work can build awareness of how you respond to what life brings, recognize the strengths and resources you already carry, and explore what may support you moving forward.

My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and trauma-informed. Depending on your individual needs, our work may incorporate mindfulness, attachment-based perspectives, acceptance strategies, EMDR, and other evidence-informed practices. I also value the connection between emotional and physical well-being and may incorporate mindfulness and body-based awareness when they are supportive of our work.

Therapy is personal. My goal is to offer thoughtful clinical support while making room for your experiences, values, identities, strengths, and goals to guide our work together.
