More about Caitlin

Welcome. I'm so glad that you are here! I partner with clients- building a safe, open space where they can be themselves. My expertise is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma, and Grief. I am a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist. When exploring loss, we hold space for your experiences and process in a way that speaks to you. In CBT, we replace that inner critic with your inner cheerleader. This creates powerful changes in perspective, emotions, and behavior. My approach uses the person-in-environment lens. I believe individual, family, community, and societal influences impact how we experience the world.

I use narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness practices to support my work. I offer evening & weekend appointments to accommodate diverse schedules.

As my client, you will be celebrated, respected, and supported. Therapy is not a cookie-cutter endeavor. My clients and I construct treatment plans that uplift their individual strengths, aspirations, and talents. Whatever you want to explore, I'm there to walk with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
