About This Provider:

Kaitlin takes a warm and empathetic approach to therapy and believes that a strong therapeutic relationship is vital to the process. She strives to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, sharing their stories, and exploring what brings them to therapy. Kaitlin sees clients as the experts in their own lives and growth, and considers it a privilege to learn their stories, and support them along the way. She uses a strengths-based approach and hopes to help clients recognize their own strengths and feel empowered in their ability to navigate life’s challenges. She also believes in the importance of mental maintenance and making the time to slow down, check in with ourselves, and care for our mental and emotional well-being before life feels like too much. Kaitlin aims to meet clients with empathy, authenticity, respect, and genuine care, while making room for laughter and humor when it feels right. She welcomes people of all backgrounds and experiences and brings a calm, positive energy to the therapy space. Life gets hard and sometimes you just need someone to walk it with you.

Kaitlin typically works with clients 2.5-3 days a week. Kaitlin is working toward a Master’s Degree and is working under the supervision of Franceska Moua, LICSW.
