About me
Hi, I'm Cailin! I'm so glad you're here. You've been doing your best to manage it all, but lately it feels too much. You're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or burned out. The stress, self-doubt, and relationship challenges seem never-ending. Maybe you're stuck in a cycle of overthinking, people-pleasing, or struggling to set boundaries. Perhaps past trauma or difficult family dynamics continue to affect your relationships and leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Navigating it all alone can feel exhausting, but you don't have to.
I help teens, adults, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, LGBTQIA+ issues, or difficult past experiences. My therapeutic approach primarily draws from relational work, EFT, EMDR, and parts work to help you explore your emotions, build self-awareness, and find ways to make meaningful progress at your own pace.
Finding the right therapist is such a personal process. I bring authenticity to sessions and enjoy working with clients who want the same. I support people seeking more than talk therapy, real change, and those who find it hard to express feelings or needs. Let's connect through a free 15-minute consultation to see if it feels like the right fit for you.
