I work with couples, families, individuals, and children. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and life transition issues. I believe that every person is equipped with their own unique skill sets that can help them in and out of the therapy room. These skills are often buried in the harmful stories we tell ourselves, but these stories can be edited and rewritten. I wholeheartedly believe in providing culturally sensitive and competent care to each and every client.

To the outside world it may appear that you have it altogether, yet no matter how hard you try you suffer from self-doubt, people pleasing, burn out or guilt when putting your own needs first. You may be carrying the weight of others’ expectations, feeling disconnected or questioning your worldview. You're stuck and something needs to change. I believe every person already has within themself what they need to change, and it is my role as a therapist to walk with you and help illuminate the parts of you which have been blocking you from living a fully authentic life.

Do you find yourself getting in your own way? I can help you figure out why and work with you to develop tools that will help you cope with challenges and start living the life you want. I work from a holistic perspective, helping clients explore all aspects of their life and facilitating change in the areas that are ripe for growth. I especially love working with athletes and clients with ADHD who are experiencing challenges with anxiety, perfectionism, depression, self-esteem, or disordered eating.

I have experience working with individual adults and partnerships in areas such as anxiety, depression, sex & intimate wellness, relationship conflict, sexual assault, life transitions, and self esteem. One of my primary areas of expertise is working with members of the LGBTQ+ community in areas of positive sexual and/ or gender identity, coming out, transitioning, and sexual health. However, I work with people of all identities and backgrounds. I foster a therapeutic space that is identity-affirming, sex-positive, and polyamorous- and kink-affirming.

Whatever reason brought you here, I am inspired by your bravery; you’ve taken the first step! It’s important to me that you have autonomy over your therapy. Here’s some insight into me to help you decide if I am the right person to accompany and support you on your journey. I am passionate about finding the root causes of undesired emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I encourage healing through non-judgmental compassion, education, and mindfulness. I typically practice through a feminist, trauma-informed theoretical lens, although I embrace eclectic approaches to best suit your unique identity.

Everyone enters therapy with different goals. Whether a person is very clear on what they want to accomplish or still figuring things out, I encourage them to make choices at their own pace. I believe every person is the expert of their own experiences. I prioritize working with sick/mad/disabled, queer and trans people of color of all ages, but particularly late adolescents and emerging/young adults. I am affirming, sex and kink positive, and experienced in helping navigate poly & non-monogamous relationships. I also specialize in exploring and building skills/resources with neurodivergent individuals.

I work best with BIPOC and/or queer individuals who are coping with mood, trauma, and sociopolitical struggles. My primary approach focuses on empowering individuals of marginalized communities to externalize systemic and oppressive factors so that we can focus on treating any personal difficulties that are causing you pain and suffering. Whether we focus on the past or the present, healing one part of yourself can heal many other parts because you have a story to tell. And no matter how many times or how many ways that you tell it, it is your own personal story. Let's change your story to help you become the person you want to be.

Are you struggling to navigate having a higher or lower sexual desire than your partner? Maybe you would like to enjoy sex more than you do, but you aren’t sure where to start. If we aren’t in tune with our bodies or our pleasure, sex might feel like just another task on our never-ending to-do list. Perhaps the experience of sex become ridden with performance anxiety and you’re never quite sure if it’s going to be “successful”. You might feel shame about your own sexual behaviors, porn consumption, or masturbation habits. These are all common concerns that I help clients with.

Curious if I’m the right fit as a therapist? I generally make only two rules for my therapy space: 1) There's no conversation that's off the table, meaning we can talk about anything here, and 2) I hope you don't drop your identities at the door, meaning all of you is welcomed here. I appreciate you making the decision to focus on your wellness. That's exactly what therapy is for! A cornerstone of my approach involves "me-search". I believe self-knowledge is essential to insight (our ability to identify, understand, and take steps toward our goals). My goal is offering a brave and empowering space to facilitate that transformation.

I believe my clients know themselves better than anyone else, so my role is to provide resources and support to help them meet their goals. As a social worker, I also help my clients unpack how larger systems impact their mental health and relationships. I use a queer-affirming, anti-oppressive, and neurodivergent-affirming approach to therapy. I have extensive training in trauma and have experience helping people work through life transitions, burnout, mood struggles and chronic illness.

If you’re from an environment that didn’t encourage talking about feelings, starting therapy is probably awkward and foreign to you. But there should be no shame or embarrassment about therapy. Many of us suffer from anxiety, depression, stressful life transitions, and relationship issues, etc., and could use a safe space to let out the stress and process the many things we have going on. With self-empowerment, exploring your identity & emotions, and identifying patterns of behavior and their triggers, I can help you prioritize yourself and in turn, find healthy ways to thrive in your personal, social, and professional life.

My name is Cait, and I am a trauma-focused clinical extern with a deep passion for empowering my clients to create and live meaningful lives shaped by their values. Trauma, stemming from various experiences like unmet childhood emotional needs, discrimination, and/or microaggressions, can lead to harmful self-narratives, often manifesting in anxiety and depression and a disconnection from our bodies and the present moment. As a clinician, I strive to foster a caring relationship where we process trauma together and co-create healthy coping mechanisms to help you reach your therapy goals.
