Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Is there something in your past that’s getting in the way of your future? Are you feeling lonely or disconnected from your friends and family? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone anymore. I am specially trained to assist those who struggle with anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems. I see my patients and myself as a team, and our relationship as the key to successful therapy. We’re in this together, and we’ve got this.

My goal as a clinician is to help you feel free. In treatment, I will invite you to bring your whole self into the room, as you are. Together, we will work to identify the ways in which you feel stuck and shift unhealthy patterns that keep you from moving forward. Whether it be for an acute issue or chronic stress, for symptom management or general exploration, I will help you both accept your authentic self and also courageously change that which no longer serves you. Through this process, I believe you will begin to better know who you are, identify what you want, and live a richer, more meaningful life.

People look for a therapist when they are experiencing anxiety,difficulties in relationships, confusion around issues related to sexuality and/or identity. Others feel depressed,struggle with addiction, or have a sense that something is not right in their lives. Often people are trying to cope with old hurts or injuries, and find that their old ways of coping with them are no longer successful,or that these strategies are the very thing that brings them pain or frustration.Often these symptoms and problems are connected with early painful experiences,or from ideas and beliefs which have been formed in rigid, or dysfunctional family systems.

Are you in deep pain due to an unhealthy love relationship? Are you experiencing heartbreak and feelings of abandonment after a breakup? My therapy is geared toward providing illumination, healing, and empowerment for those wishing to change painful love patterns in their romantic life. I approach therapy with the belief that the more you establish a healthy relationship with yourself, the more you will start taking action around love and relationships that honor you as the loveable and worthy person you are.

Thanks for taking a moment to find out more about my services! I enjoy working with individuals (including adolescents) and couples and specialize in Premarital, Interfaith, Multicultural, and Infertility work. I strive to create a safe space for my clients to share, be heard and witnessed, explore, heal, and grow. My style of working with clients is relational, holistic, collaborative, and creative. I deeply believe in a client-centered and strengths-based approach. My counseling technique is a combination of depth oriented, family systems, and experiential therapies (i.e., art/play therapy, mindfulness) with the goals of insight, healing, and behavior change.

I'm so glad you're here. Finding a supportive, therapeutic home can be a difficult challenge for us as queer, transgender, and non-binary people. Therefore, I hold some values to create a safer space: you are the expert in your own lived experience; you already posses the strengths that will help you with the challenges you're facing; you deserve a place without judgement; and you are entitled to be your authentic self. I come from a cross-cultural, social justice perspective, and believe collaboration with you is necessary for your best self. I serve individuals and families.

I believe in a collaborative therapy experience to assist clients in their process of self-discovery. As the cornerstone of my approach, I believe that unconditional support through the therapeutic relationship provides a strong foundation for this journey. This support is often missing from our lives and when we start to experience challenges or road blocks we can start to feel more isolated and alone. If you are feeling stuck or dissatisfied with your life starting therapy can be the first step to creating change.

The path to healing can be arduous and difficult for many and may seem impossible and unattainable for others. I have been fortunate and honored to work with hundreds of individuals, couples, and families on their journey of healing. I am committed to helping every person that comes to therapy to be their support at every step of their journey. Together we create goals, learn skills, and move through blocks that will help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.

Relationships are hard, conflict is normal, and seeking couples therapy does not mean your relationship is broken. Just like there’s no singular “right way” to be a human, there is no single “right way” to be in a relationship. Decades of romantic comedy films and fairy tales with people who “lived happily ever after” are, quite literally, fiction. Whether you’re seeking individual or couples therapy, Caitlin believes that meaningful change tends to occur when people can shed societal expectations of what they “should” be, in favor of embracing who they are.

I'm glad you're here! I help people free themselves from painful relational patterns and start feeling calm, safe and authentic.

I offer individual therapy, couples therapy and therapy for all kinds of relationship structures, including non-monogamous relationships and blended families.

Down bad? Feeling wonky? Lets talk about it. I help clients with a variety of issues by tailoring my therapeutic approach to their unique needs and goals. I want everyone I work with to realize their full potential by restructuring maladaptive thought patterns that lead to distress and poor functioning. I hope to give my clients the space to process their thoughts and emotions, and understand the ways in which their behavior and subconscious beliefs about themselves and the world around them play into false narratives that ultimately keep themselves down. I strive to help my clients to learn to love themselves without condition.

Many of my clients relate to the experience of feeling "othered", different or as existing outside of culturally-constructed margins. In our increasingly isolationist world, feeling different or other is becoming a common experience. While many things may remind us of our difference, or "non-normativity", in therapy I aim to collaboratively uncover and identify the worth and purpose that I believe exist in all humxn beings. I believe that all concerns, struggles, challenges, curiosities and explorations brought to therapy are related to relationships--the relationship we have with ourselves and other people. Often, clients express a need for deep connection and goals involve enhancing relationships, identifying emotions, coping more effectively with emotions, and nourishing self-worth and confidence. Research on therapeutic effectiveness has repeatedly demonstrated that therapeutic relationship is the principle determinant of positive therapeutic outcome. Thus, when I first meet clients, client-therapist relationship and chemistry is the primary emphasis and catalyst for change.

If you: ​Avoid conflict by appeasing others, struggle to set boundaries and limits, struggle with relationships, put off verbalizing your needs, feel resentment or anxiety, overdeliver leading to exhaustion, wonder why you are not being heard, strive to please others while sacrificing your needs, or are a child of an alcoholic / addiction, I can help you improve your relationships, increase self-esteem, prioritize needs, set healthy boundaries, sleep better, communicate your needs, and re-establish self care.

An effective mental health counselor is a social anthropologist at heart with a profound knowledge of ethnicity, sociology, race, religious and/or spiritual denominations,family dynamics and how economics influence and determine emotional conflicts. Fluent in French, Spanish and English, well-travelled and well-versed in the arts and literature of other countries and with a subtancial background in psychology and psychoanalysis I approach emotional issues with flexibility and relevance to the individual patient. I delve into the client's self and biographical life to mobilize hidden forces, unused energies to assist him/her in the struggle to prevail.
