I'm a therapist, but also a dog mom, cat mom (see below) and a yogi. When I'm not in the office I love to practice yoga, go hiking with my pups (see below), listen to podcasts or read a book. In our therapy sessions you can expect to laugh, see a dog or a cat and get help from a counselor who is down to earth and will call you on your bull shit (in a compassionate way of course!).

Hi, I'm Caitlin!

 My Qualifications

Clinical Training and Education

I first began my work with trauma in college, where I served as an Advocate for survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and stalking at my University's Crisis Response Center. I then went on to continue working at the office post-graduation as an Advocate. While working there, I served as a Crisis Counselor on RAINN's national chatline for these same populations, as well as those experiencing child abuse. From there I gained experience working with dual diagnosis in both the IOP and PHP setting before making my way to a group private practice where I specialized in trauma therapy.

 My Background

A lot of my clients don’t care about my background. But many of my clients who have been hurt by other people need to know I understand. So here goes!

​

I first began my work with trauma in college, where I served as an Advocate for survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and stalking at my University's Crisis Response Center. I've done everything from go to court with clients to get protective orders to accompanying clients to the hospital for forensic exams. I then went on to continue working at the office post-graduation as an Advocate. While there, I began to notice the connection between addictions, eating disorders and trauma

 

While working there, I also served as a Crisis Counselor on RAINN's national chatline for these same populations, as well as those experiencing child abuse. I went on to gain experience working with dual diagnosis (mental health and substance use) in both the IOP and PHP setting before making my way to a group private practice where I specialized in trauma therapy.

​

There, I worked with survivors of childhood emotional neglect, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. I've heard stories people swore they would carry to their grave and walked alongside them to the other side. 

​

I created Intuitive Healing and Wellness LLC because I saw the connections between traumatic experiences and eating disorders and substance use and didn't feel there were enough practitioners trained to treat these things holistically. 

​

I view addictions, eating disorders, self-harm and other compulsive behaviors as coping skills that likely helped you survive your trauma instead of problems to be fixed.
