About Caitlin
I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. Before joining Beacon Family Therapy, I provided individual therapy in middle and high school settings, supporting students through moments when something felt off, overwhelming, or difficult to put into words. These experiences shaped my approach of slowing down, tuning into the present moment, and working together to understand what a child or teen is going through and how to move forward in a way that feels meaningful.
I value working not only with adolescents, but also with their families. I aim to foster connection, strengthen communication, and support each child in developing skills that feel authentic and tailored to who they are.
My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy. I take an eclectic approach, integrating mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and creative interventions when helpful. At the core of my work is authenticity. When children and teens feel safe to be themselves, meaningful growth can happen.
My hope is that each child or teen I work with leaves therapy feeling more understood, more confident, and better equipped to manage anxiety, navigate relationships, and handle life’s challenges both now and in the future.
Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, iced coffee from Dutch Bros, relaxing by the water, live music, going to the gym, and cheering on women’s sports (Go SD Wave FC!).
