Do you feel pressure to be good, avoid conflict, and keep relationships running smoothly, even when it comes at your own expense? Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and relentless self-criticism, often feeling pressure to avoid rocking the boat in their relationships. In our work together, we’ll slow down and explore the emotional patterns beneath these struggles so you can experience your feelings more freely, set limits without overwhelming guilt, and feel less pressure to hold everything together.

I specialize in Intensive Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), an experiential approach that helps people move beyond cycles of overthinking and self-criticism. Rather than only talking about problems, we work directly with emotions in the moment so meaningful and lasting change can occur.

I believe we are wired for connection and healing. At our core, we all long to be truly seen, known, and recognized as we navigate the complexities of being human. From the moment we desire to know ourselves more deeply, we unlock the potential for growth and vitality. If you're ready to begin finding your authentic and unburdened self, please get in touch.

The Yin and Yang of Self-Compassion (for women)

Hosted by

Caitlin Shiflett

This group was born from years of working with women therapeutically 1:1 who struggle with self-criticism, shame, and inner conflicts about showing up for themselves the way they show up for others. We will be exploring the duality of self compassion. The Yin and the Yang sides. The soft nurturing side of the practice, and its counterpart, the yang side, that encourages us to stand up and act on our behalf. Visit www.compassioncollectiverva.com for all the details. Looking forward to seeing you in group ! (Group will meet in person, and begins September 17th, limited 12 participants)
