ABOUT CAITLIN

I’ve been in this field since 2009 and have always loved meeting and talking with people, getting to the root of things. I’m more playful than serious, more inquisitive rather than let stuff go, and guiding. I work with clients in a collaborative process to peel back the layers of the onion. I also identify as a secular therapist and will not imbue our work with any religious or spiritual beliefs

I am a licensed counselor living and working in Boulder, Colorado. Before Boulder, I was located in NYC for over ten years - I still have that East Coast bluntness and sarcasm takes me a long way.

I earned my Master’s Degree from Pratt Institute (NYC) in 2011 in Art Therapy and Creativity Development and have had my license as a Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT, 001704) since 2013. I still provide virtual therapy for NY-Based clients and accept Cigna insurance.

I also have my LPCC (Licensed Professional Counselor candidate) since moving to Colorado in 2021 and work here virtually and in-person with clients.

I have worked in hospital, school, and outpatient mental health settings prior to pursuing and opening a private practice. I integrate a variety of modalities including art therapy (materials-based processing of experiences), talk psychotherapy, attachment theory, and cognitive behavioral therapy (identifying negative thought patterns and learning tools to change these patterns).

WHO I WORK WITH-

I love working with people from all walks of life and especially enjoy folks who are seeking therapy for the first time. The initial self discovery in the sorting through of experiences is an especially rewarding time. My other areas of interest and specialization are in grief work, family and child development, and sibling work.

  • Whether you’re bursting into adulthood, wondering whether to have kids, processing the loss of a beloved, life’s transitions can throw curveballs.

  • Find your highest purpose and calling.

  • Issues related to anxiety. depression, and

  • Collaborative family work to address the root cause of the behavior. I utilize play therapy and art therapy for this demographic.
