She also holds a master’s degree in Forensic Psychology from the same university. Caitlin chose to enter the counseling field to support those who may feel unheard. She recognizes the essential importance of each individual’s personal mental health journey and is grateful to play a supportive role in that process.

Caitlin also believes in the strong connection between the mind and body. She understands that one’s emotional well-being directly impacts physical health and overall quality of life, as well as the degree to which things like nutrition and hormones affect mental health. Caitlin values movement as a powerful tool in managing mental health. Personally, she has found that regular physical activity provides a healthy outlet for stress and its physical symptoms. Her background in forensic psychology has enriched her understanding of how untreated trauma can affect behavior, and she is especially committed to helping children and adolescents grow into emotionally healthy, self-aware adults with strong and positive relationships.

Caitlin approaches each person with empathy and understanding. She believes in a person-centered, collaborative approach that ensures every client feels safe and valued throughout the therapy process. She uses a CBT-oriented approach (Cognitive-behavioral Therapy) integrated with various other effective techniques. She aims to help others better understand the nature and origin of their feelings.
