About Me

Hi, I’m Caitlin (she/her).

I’m an Associate Clinical Social Worker, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, fertility-related stress, perinatal anxiety, career challenges, and life’s many transitions.

I have a particular interest in supporting individuals through seasons of life that bring unexpected emotions, uncertainty, and changes in identity. I recognize that even experiences we have hoped for can bring challenges we weren’t prepared for, and that navigating these moments can sometimes feel lonely or overwhelming.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. I believe that feeling safe, understood, and accepted is an important part of the therapeutic process. I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are, without pressure to have the right words, know exactly what you need, or feel a certain way.

Together, we can explore the experiences and patterns that may be contributing to distress, develop tools to navigate difficult emotions, and work toward feeling more grounded and connected to yourself.

I believe therapy isn't about becoming a different person or having everything figured out. It's about better understanding yourself, recognizing your strengths, and finding ways to move through life with greater confidence and self-compassion.

My Background and Credentials

I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Colby College, my Masters in Social Work from Fordham University, and received further clinical training at Jewish Family and Children's Services.
 
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in human resources for nearly a decade, which enriched my understanding of the impact anxiety, stress, and burnout can have on how we show up at work and in life, and the importance of mental health support and advocacy. 

I am a registered Associate Clinical Social Worker (#117419) with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, so I currently only work with residents of California. I am practicing under the supervision of licensed clinical psychologist, Suzanne M. Adams, PhD (PSY29244).

On A Personal Note

Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming and vulnerable. And, it can be challenging to get a sense of a person from an online profile! I recognize that when seeking a therapist it can also be helpful to learn a bit about the human and not just the professional background. With that in mind, here's a little about me…

I grew up in a seaside town just north of Boston, MA and lived in San Francisco for 12 years. I recently moved to Maine, and I feel grateful to be able to continue my work with clients in California via telehealth. Being outside and near a body of water is very important to me! I love movies -- I studied film in college and still volunteer at and/or attend film festivals when I can. Theater kid at heart, amateur home-cook, and very big fan of pretty much all animals.
