Connect with Caitlin

I help people understand their inner world and treat themselves gently. I help people find healing from their past trauma, body image struggles, and difficulties with self-worth / self-esteem. I approach sessions from a compassionate, integrative perspective, with the underlying desire for all clients to feel both safe and known.

I am able to hold the tension of being both gentle and easygoing in session, while also providing structure and being open and forthcoming with clients. I view therapy as a collaborative process and trust my client’s intuition and internal wisdom to guide their decisions. I help clients understand the function of their emotions, healthy boundaries, communication strategies, and skills to self-regulate.

I’m trained in EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, two methods commonly used for treating trauma. I’ve worked with a variety of ages, and particularly enjoy counseling those in the young / emerging adulthood phase of life.

Hi, I’m Caitlin.
