Hi there, I'm Cait!

Therapy doesn’t have to feel formal or intimidating. I’m a pretty down-to-earth therapist, and I want our work to feel like a real conversation—not a script. I help adults work through anxiety, depression, substance use, self-esteem, life changes, and other challenges, with a practical approach and plenty of room for humor along the way.

My focus

I work with adults navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, substance use, self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, and patterns they’re ready to change. You don’t need to come in with a diagnosis or have everything figured out. We can start with what’s bothering you and work from there.

My approach

I tend to be a practical, problem-solving therapist. I like to understand what’s behind a problem and then figure out what we can actually do about it. I use CBT, ACT, and DBT strategies when they’re useful, but I’ll tailor our work to you. We’ll work on making changes while also learning to be a little kinder to yourself.
