About
Kaitlin
Hello, I’m Kaitlin. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them move beyond surface-level symptoms and create lasting change. I approach my clinical work with curiosity and compassion. I believe that true healing requires digging deep to uncover the underlying causes of challenges. My clinical style is trauma-focused and depth-oriented, providing a therapeutic space that is warm, intellectual, straightforward, and authentically non-judgmental.
I enjoy reading, baking, hiking by the ocean, and spending time with loved ones. Before I was a therapist, I went to art school and was a researcher in the public sector.
