I’ve worked in intensive in-home services, therapeutic day treatment, and outpatient therapy, giving me the ability to connect with children, teens, and adults.
My style is direct but caring... warm, honest, and grounded in a person-centered approach. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space where you can be fully yourself without judgment. I use CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients build insight, develop practical skills, and feel more in control of their emotional world.

I work with both children and adults who are looking for support, understanding, and a place to slow down and be fully themselves. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, mood challenges, ADHD, autism, or experiencing the effects of stress and trauma. I often work with adults who are balancing the demands of parenting, military life, or professionals to create a space for themselves. With children, I use developmentally appropriate, play-based, creative approaches along with mindfulness practices, to help them express emotions, develop coping skills, and strengthen their self-esteem.

I like helping people who are going through a rough patch and need a little extra help to get through. This can be kids, adults, and whole families. While the people who need my help are not feeling so great when they first come in, I am so happy to help them through the tough times and see them come out on the other side feeling like themselves again, and perhaps even stronger.

Stuck in the Same Arguments, No Matter How Hard You Try? When family life feels harder than it seems like it should, it’s easy to blame yourself or someone else. Most people aren’t failing—they’re stuck in patterns that no longer work. Therapy helps individuals, couples, and families understand those patterns, communicate more effectively, set healthier boundaries, and support children without carrying everything alone. Change is possible, and it often starts with small shifts that bring real relief and connection.

Hi! I'm Kaitlin. Welcome to the playroom. It's good to see you!
I am a pre-professional in play therapy! I am here to help you through the challenges that life gives you.
Why play therapy?
Play is the child’s natural language. We as adults can talk about feelings because we have learned how to process the world. Your child processes the world around us with limited knowledge on the words to use for their emotions or experiences.
You will help your child through consistent caregiving. Though we are playing in the playroom, you are still a partner in this process!

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
