Caitlyn’s passion for helping children and families began nearly 20 years ago and has motivated the beginning and stunning growth of Whole Life Family Therapy. A graduate of the University of San Francisco with a Master’s of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy. Prior to her transition to private practice, Caitlyn provided psychotherapy in a variety of settings including public and non-public schools, residential, community based and outpatient mental health clinics. Caitlyn has extensive experience helping children and families improve emotional well-being. Caitlyn can support those with mild anxiety, ADHD and mood disorders to those who have severe behavioral issues and suicidal thoughts. She has advanced skill in helping children who struggle with self-control, regulation or disrupted connections, and supports in finding different ways to cope with challenging feelings.
Caitlyn combines play therapy, attachment, cognitive-behavior, mindfulness and a behavioral approach that can help children to feel better and make behavioral changes. By learning to express themselves more effectively, emotionally healthy kids are better able to handle tough situations, build stronger relationships, and recover from unexpected changes. Working from a holistic perspective, Caitlyn is experienced in supporting parents to align strategies, develop skills and provide consistent structure in married, blended and divorced homes to reduce conflict and increase harmony.
Our goal is to meet the children’s mental health provider “national emergency shortage” by continuing our devotion to providing thoughtful, consistent expertise in psychotherapy for children. 💙
