Hi I'm Kaitlin! I specialize in supporting teens, students and young adults who are navigating the complex challenges of adolescence and adulthood. From dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression to overcoming self-esteem challenges, I understand how overwhelming this can be. If you're struggling with self esteem, experiencing relationship conflicts, or feeling lost in the midst of life transitions, I'm here to support you. My favorite part about therapy is helping people get to know themselves better, and I believe so much healing can be done through our relationship with ourselves.
I understand that therapy can be challenging and I use humor & authenticity to make it approachable. I really value getting to know every part of you and will support you in developing more compassion and care for all of your parts - whether that's through skills building, emotional processing, or being in a space where you can truly be yourself.
I am committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can find support and healing. I am so honored to support you as you embark on this journey! Please feel free to reach out with any questions :) I'd love to connect!
