Welcome. I’m Kaitlin.
I’m a licensed therapist (LPCC 17791) who is warm, intellectual, straight-forward and authentic. I create a therapeutic container that feels protective, grounding and nonjudgemental. Most importantly, I have an inextinguishable curiosity about the human condition.
I have 10 years of experience in mental health and social services in various capacities, including supervisory positions. Before becoming a therapist, I went to art school and was a researcher in the public sector. This informs my therapy practice as I have a deep understanding of intersecting systemic barriers. I’m able to hold deep complexity in an individual and a system and approach my work with creativity.
I currently see clients in California via tele-health. Any questions? Visit my FAQ.
