Life can change in ways we never expected—and when it does, it can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and deeply personal. Whether you are navigating grief, trauma, or a major life transition, you don’t have to do it alone.
I work with adults who are ready for meaningful, deeper work. Many of my clients are facing significant life shifts—loss, identity changes, relationship challenges, or the weight of experiences that are hard to carry on their own. Together, we create a space where you can process what you’ve been through, make sense of your experience, and begin to move forward in a way that feels grounded and authentic to you.

I help clients understand what drives their behaviors and identify changes that have been hard to sustain alone. Together, we uncover patterns that keep them stuck and create lasting shifts. Clients learn that life isn’t black and white—embracing its gray areas brings clarity, flexibility, and healing. They reframe unhelpful thoughts, gain new perspectives, and feel empowered to move beyond self-defeating beliefs.

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.

As a counselor, I feel honored to work with clients who are navigating complex challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma. My ideal client is not defined by a lack of struggle, but by a willingness to show up, even when things feel overwhelming or uncertain. My role is to guide, support, and challenge my clients in ways that help them reclaim their agency, reconnect with themselves, and begin to imagine a life beyond survival—a life rooted in clarity, peace, and meaning.

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!

You’re holding it together for everyone else — but inside you feel exhausted, anxious,
overwhelmed, or stuck. Many high-functioning adults quietly carry trauma, grief, depression, and
chronic stress while continuing to work, care for family, and meet expectations. Over time, that
emotional weight becomes too heavy to carry alone. Therapy can be a place where you finally
exhale, process what hurts, and begin to feel like yourself again.
Many of my clients are successful, responsible people who feel overwhelmed behind the scenes due to coping with unresolved trauma, complicated grief, relationship stress, or burnout.

Maybe you’ve tried to explain what you’re carrying and couldn’t find the words. Or maybe you know exactly what’s wrong and just need somewhere safe to say it out loud. Wherever you land, you’re welcome here.
I became a therapist because I know firsthand what it means to move through life feeling unseen. My goal is simple: to be the consistent, grounding presence that helps you feel safe enough to do real work — and seen enough to believe it’s worth doing.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
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.
