Trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but now offer more Humanistic/Narrative family therapy approaches to look deeper than the symptoms themselves.
Hello, and firstly kudos to you for taking the first steps (or more if returning to therapy) on reaching out for support! Whether it is part of your self-journey, or to connect with your family, partner, or spouse, it takes courage, vulnerability, and commitment to ask for help. This is especially true within the chaos of our lives and the social pressures to put on the multiple hats (Parent, Partner, Child, etc.) that we wear. Therapy for me is about caring for the human facing me and offering the space where we can collaborate to find even greater meaning and purpose to one's own lived experiences throughout life.

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.

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 was formally trained for 5 years in Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT) at The Wake Kendall Group, a DBT-Linehan Board Certified DBT Program located in Washington, D
My philosophy in therapy is to believe every emotion and be curious about every thought. I take this job very seriously but I am seldom a serious person; therapy can be an enjoyable experience and simultaneously life-enriching if you are willing to do the work. My therapeutic style is direct and compassionate, jargon-free and analogy-strong, often using humor and irreverence when appropriate in session. I strive to create authentic relationships with my clients where pretentious jargon-speak is left at the door. Authenticity is my most important value as a clinician - I am the same human both inside and outside of the office…
