Hello, I am taking new patients! If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in self-criticism, or disconnected from others, you’re not alone. Through a person-centered lens, my approach is collaborative, grounded in compassion and respect for your lived experience. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and direct—with a focus on empowerment and self-compassion. My role isn’t to “fix” you—it’s to support you in uncovering your strengths, building resilience, and creating a life that feels more aligned and authentic. I believe the most integral component in the therapeutic process is the moment a client feels understood.

My ideal client seeks a creative, compassionate, affirming space to explore their authentic self. Often neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, or someone navigating complex family dynamics, foster care experiences, or significant life transitions. They may struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, or anxiety. Their needs often center around feeling truly understood, validated, and supported in their unique lived experience. They want therapy that feels accessible and affirming rather than rigid or clinical.

Living well should be about more than just coping with pain! So many of us struggle for years with anxiety, depression, loneliness, "scattered"-ness and difficulty finding and keeping good relationships. Good therapy helps people develop internal resources, gain trust in themselves, and clarify what really matters to them so they can build rich and rewarding lives. As your partner in that process, my goal is to help you overcome obstacles and get tangible results that last!

Reaching out for support can be difficult. Often when we finally decide to reach out we are already experiencing overwhelm and feeling discouraged. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, having difficulty sleeping, being more irritable than usual, or having difficulty enjoying things in your day to day life. If you've experienced trauma you could be struggling with flashbacks, fear, avoidance, and difficulty moving forward in you life. Maybe your child or teen is having new behaviors, tantrums, isolation, or difficulty with connection. I am here for all of you and will stand with you on your healing journey.

I have experience and thoroughly enjoy working with those in the LGBTQIA+ community, those deconstructing from high-control religion, and those with neurodiversity. I find that these unique sets of identity markers are difficult to understand unless they are lived experience, and I've found these folks tend to feel comfortable in my therapeutic space.

Hi, I'm Caitlin! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and my specialty is working with all types of couples & families, children 8 and up, and grownups alike, to help them find their way through anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, low self-value, and relationship issues. Oftentimes our emotional stress funnels into our behaviors & interactions, especially with family, and my role is to help discover this process and offer ideas on how to adjust, challenge, or practice new patterns that may help. I most often use evidence informed interventions based in Structural, Narrative, Experiential, Gottman, and Somatic therapies.

My approach to therapy is rooted in creating a space where a person can explore their inner world with curiosity and openness, and is also free of judgement. Therapy is a place where one can come to understand themself more fully and experience being deeply listened to.
Before becoming a clinician, I worked in independent high schools as a theater director and English teacher. I also served as a backcountry trip leader, dorm parent, and advisor. These experiences taught me about the power of story, creativity, and collaboration, all of which I bring into the therapeutic space.

Hello, fellow human! I’m Ashley (she/her), Welcome! I’m not your average, buttoned-up therapist who’s going to sit there with a clipboard, nodding politely while you pour out your soul. No, no—I'm the one who'll listen intently, ask questions that make you think, and maybe throw in a totally random, weird analogy just to keep things interesting. I believe that therapy doesn't have to be all seriousness and no smiles. While I take your journey seriously, I also understand the importance of laughter, lightness, and a bit of fun along the way.
