Welcome! My name is Caitlin, and I'm a clinical psychologist that specializes in cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT), especially in the treatment of anxiety, OCD, panic, phobias, stress, and sleep. I provide individual psychotherapy to older teens, young adults, and adults. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify active goals for treatment, with a focus on living a life that's flexible, fulfilling, and guided by one's values. I strive to create a supportive and strong therapeutic bond with my clients by using warmth, unconditional positive regard, compassion, and some lightheartedness and humor, when appropriate.
I have extensive experience in providing CBT therapies, including exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, self compassion, behavioral activation, and motivational interviewing.
I know it can be intimidating to start therapy and find a therapist who is a good fit. I would love to schedule a complimentary initial phone call to learn more about you, tell you about my approach, and answer questions you may have, and we can determine together if it feels like a good fit. I currently have availability afternoons and evenings, Mon-Thurs.
