Associate Therapist

all about caitlin

Known for her down-to-earth approach, Caitlin is a therapist who blends empathy, humor, and real talk. She’s often described as someone who makes it feel safe to be vulnerable, while also challenging you to rethink the patterns that no longer serve you. Caitlin knows that opening up can feel intimidating, especially when you’ve gotten good at holding it all together, and her goal is to create a space where clients feel safe enough to finally let their guard down. 

Caitlin views therapy as a collaborative space where authenticity matters more than perfection. She believes meaningful change occurs when clients are willing to be open, look closely at what’s holding them back, and push themselves to choose a different path. Her style is humanistic and relational, blending humor with flexibility, because she knows therapy is never one-size-fits-all. 

Caitlin’s years of experience as a child and family therapist give her a deep understanding of how early dynamics shape the way people move through the world as adults. This perspective informs her work with young professionals who may be navigating boundaries, relationship challenges, or self-doubt rooted in their family of origin. She helps clients identify the roles and patterns they’ve outgrown and develop healthier ways of showing up in their careers, their relationships, and within themselves. 

how she works

Caitlin’s approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and grounded in authenticity. She works best with clients navigating depression, anxiety, and the lingering impacts of early childhood experiences. Much of her work focuses on family-of-origin dynamics and how they show up in the present, whether through challenges with boundaries, difficulties in relationships, or struggles with confidence. Caitlin helps clients move beyond what’s keeping them stuck and set meaningful goals that align with the life they want to build. 

Drawing from psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and attachment-based, trauma-informed practices, Caitlin tailors her work to each client. She also integrates relational and mindfulness-based strategies to ensure sessions are both insightful and practical. Together, she and her clients reflect on how the past shapes the present, explore what no longer serves them, and practice new ways of showing up in their lives. Sessions are a balance of empathy and challenge, with a bit of fun woven in to keep the work approachable and human. 

Her clients often say they leave sessions feeling seen and supported, but also inspired to shift perspective and make intentional changes. Caitlin’s goal is to help clients strengthen boundaries, build confidence, and cultivate relationships that feel aligned with who they truly are.
