About Kaitlyn
Hi There! Are you navigating a season of change and wondering where you fit in it? I work with perinatal clients, young adults, athletes and former athletes, and people navigating reproductive and life transitions. Maybe you’re adjusting to an injury or life beyond sport, becoming a parent, processing pregnancy loss, looking for all-options pregnancy support, or feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure what comes next. Whatever brings you here, we can slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and build a path forward that feels more aligned with who you are and what matters to you.
I'm passionate about perinatal mental health, reproductive health, and supporting folks through injury, identity shifts, and changing relationships with movement. My background in sexual health education, reproductive advocacy, and full-spectrum doula work shapes my relational, strengths-based, trauma-informed approach, grounded in reproductive justice.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re already carrying a lot. You don’t need to have it all figured out or know exactly what you need before reaching out. Bring the messy, complicated, very human parts of life and we’ll figure out the rest together.

You may seem OK on the outside, but on the inside, your mind rarely slows down. There is constant mental noise: second-guessing yourself and others, constant “what ifs?”, fear of failure, or thoughts that feel intrusive and hard to dismiss. Anxiety can be subtle or overwhelming, but over time it begins to dictate choices, routines, and even your sense of self. Left unchecked, it becomes exhausting, convincing, and relentless. I specialize in treating anxiety, including OCD. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we focus on changing your relationship with anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings. That might mean gradually addressing avoidance tendencies, reducing compulsions, building tolerance for uncertainty, or changing how you respond to intrusive thoughts. My approach is active, practical, and collaborative. We don’t just analyze feelings - we work with them directly. I also enjoy working with ADHD, especially when anxiety and executive functioning challenges overlap. When things always feel harder than they “should” be, we focus on reducing shame, building sustainable systems, and increasing consistency. Over time, you can learn to build real trust in your ability to handle what’s in front of you. My approach blends evidence-based treatment with warmth, humor, and a clear plan. Anxiety is part of being human, but with the right support, you can build the skills to live life on your terms. I offer free 20-minute phone consults for our initial introduction to each other. Appointment slots generally offered Monday-Thursday from 11:00 to 4:00.
