Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in San Diego, CA
I am versed in a variety of treatment modalities, including: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT), Expressive Arts Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method.
Hi, I am Caitlin, and I'm so glad you landed here on my page! I am passionate about helping navigate the messiness of being a human. This messiness comes in many forms- whether it's working to find connection in relationships, working to change behavioral patterns that are no longer serving you, working through difficult past experiences, or just plain finding a way to feel better about yourself and the life you are living. I pride myself on being able to tailor the therapeutic experience to what feels right for each client, though a common theme in my work is striking the right balance between self-acceptance and striving.

I use - Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR and have 5 years of DBT skills training experience.
I care...Let me help. We will create a safe, non-judgmental space from which to begin the process of healing. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families who have challenges in substance abuse, anxiety, depression, borderline personality issues and relationship problems. I also enjoy working with the LGBT community, specifically with Transgender people and their families. My rich life experience (fancy language for I'm older) allows me to truly align with partners and families that have members who are transgender and to be an ally with transgender individuals as they transition.

I am here to help you achieve greater wellbeing and fulfillment in life and sport. It is normal to develop anxiety, depression, and trauma in response to the pressure to perform in our modern world, and some turn to substances and other unhelpful coping behaviors to help. Many youth and adults who are athletes and in the general population do not always have the support needed to thrive. That’s where I come in.

Being human comes with gifts. And challenges. Perhaps your feeling stressed out or sad. Maybe you have experienced significant life stressors, need support with solving specific problems or have relationships concerns. Or maybe your looking for a judgment free zone, a structured place to process life and increase self-esteem.

You may feel torn between wanting connection and needing space, managing anxiety while staying productive, or holding things together outwardly while your body feels constantly on edge. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or stuck in patterns they can’t fully explain.
Often, these patterns come from how your mind and body have learned to anticipate and respond based on past experiences. Therapy is a place to slow down, understand these responses, and feel more present, grounded, and able to respond with clarity rather than reacting automatically.

As a Latina (she/ ella) attachment based therapist, I hold space for those navigating the complexity of identity, belonging, and connection. My approach is relational and collaborative — grounded in early relationships, parts work, and the mind-body connection. I believe therapy is a space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have longed to be seen and understood.

The world can feel unpredictable at times. You wake up feeling like something is not right, something feels unsettled, not finished, or incomplete - individually, in your marriage, work, or family. But what? The joys and challenges that life is bringing are not being met with the right emotion. This can become either overwhelming or underwhelming. When life feels like this, your relationships can suffer. Carrying this burden alone adversely affects well-being and your ability to dream, create, and feel joy. With a commitment from you to your health, we can reclaim control of the emotions surrounding this unsettled feeling.
