Hi there! My name is Kaitlyn, and I believe in the power of empathy and having a safe and supportive place where you can feel seen and heard. I believe healing happens in a space where you feel truly seen and supported, and that therapy should be somewhere you can show up as yourself, without judgment. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. We’ll work together to clarify what matters most to you and build tools that actually make sense in your everyday life.

I work with individual adult/child clients and couples who are facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, loss, trauma, ADHD, Bipolar disorder, and challenges at work or in relationships. I have counseled adults, couples, and groups in community-based and school-based mental health, as well as private practice. I have also conducted in-depth research on trauma, hopelessness, empathy, attachment, and intimacy. Above all, I believe that my clients, not I, hold the key to their growth and that emotional pain and anxiety, when given respect and non-judgmental attention, can often provide some of the best opportunities for learning.

Are you an individual ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and wellness? Is it anxiety/depression/grief/trauma making you feel out of alignment with the life you envision or is it frustration navigating a world not designed for your neurodivergent mind?

You may not know exactly where to begin—and that’s okay. If you are open to the process, willing to engage deeply, value authenticity—I can provide the therapeutic space that promotes healing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in a cycle of anxiety and overthinking? Are you/your teen struggling with self-harm, ADHD, OCD, perfectionism, anxiety, or work/school, or life in general? Maybe you look like you have everything together on the outside, but inside you feel exhausted, behind, or like an imposter. When life starts to feel this heavy, it can be hard to know where to turn. I see many high-achieving, thoughtful individuals who put a lot of pressure on themselves but never feel like they’re doing enough. They feel stuck. High expectations and pressure can cause us to “flip the switch” and shut down.

Let’s sit down together and start changing your narrative to reflect the best version of you. Our work together will consist of identifying thought and behavior patterns that no longer serve you well. During our sessions, we can begin to help you identify positive thoughts, emotions, behaviors that best fit with your goals. My approach to treatment is centered around the needs of each individual I work with. I will often check in with clients I work with to ensure the approach I am using is effective and assisting with meeting the goals.

Do you feel like you’re constantly bracing for the next blow, or perhaps you’ve simply shut down to survive? Trauma, whether from a major life transition, a betrayal, or past abuse, has a way of keeping you stuck in a loop of isolation. You’re likely exhausted from carrying a heavy past that refuses to stay back there, leaving you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. You want to feel safe in your own body again and stop the identity-shift that happens when you’re triggered. You deserve more than just "getting by"; you deserve to feel grounded, whole, and truly hopeful.
