Welcome! I'm Kaelin; I’m a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about helping clients connect to a sense of aliveness. My favorite question from clients is “Can I really do that?” Can I really eat the foods that my body wants, choose not to follow rigid anxiety rituals, pursue the kind of sex I truly want to have, or ask my partner for a deeper, more connected relationship? Can my life feel full, vivid, and satisfying? I am here to support you in answering ‘yes.’ It takes insight and hard work to go from surviving to thriving, but my experience has been that clients are much more capable than they believe.

I’ve been lucky in my career to work with a wide range of presenting issues and clinical modalities, including CBT, EFT, Gottman Method, exposure therapy, ACT, and others. I currently specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety disorders, sex and sexuality questions, relational challenges, OCD, and ADHD.

However, my favorite therapy fact is that the biggest factor in a client’s healing is the relationship between the client and the therapist. Nurturing that relationship is the greatest focus in my clinical approach. I firmly believe that every client possesses the ability to overcome their challenges, and I am grateful for the opportunity to support them.

I'm an eclectic practitioner pulling from different modalities. I may use cognitive behavioral therapy to illuminate and challenge self-defeating beliefs, or emotionally-focused therapy to call attention to powerful underlying emotions, or relational therapy to demonstrate how therapy may act as a mirror for your outside life. Above all, I respond to what the client needs in that moment.
