Caitlyn takes a collaborative, strengths-based approach and is open to working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety and depression. As she grows in the field, Caitlyn draws from a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and solution-focused therapy, tailoring their approach to each client’s needs and goals.

Outside of the therapy room, Caitlyn enjoys reading, walking in the woods, listening to live music, spending time with family and friends, and watercolor painting. She especially loves conversations about music, books, and movies.
