You've probably tried talking about it. And talking helped, until it didn't.

Maybe you think deeply, feel everything intensely and still can't figure out why you keep ending up in the same patterns. You don't want another list of coping skills. You want to actually get yourself and understand where these patterns came from, why they stick, and how to finally move differently.

That's the work I am so passionate about.

I'm Caitlin! Therapist, art therapist, and someone who knows what it's like to carry a lot. Anxiety, self-doubt, patterns inherited from people who came before you, a creative inner world that doesn't always fit neatly into everyday life. I didn't just study this, I've lived it.
