Hi! My name is Caitlin and I am looking forward to meeting you. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives, and take a very client-centered approach to my work, focusing on empowerment and self-determination at all times. I believe there are as many ways to heal as there are individuals, and enjoy helping each client find their path towards fulfillment in their unique life. My experience has primarily been in schools and working with gender expansive individuals and families. I have also worked in early childhood programs and have a lot of experience supporting families with children from hard places or who have experienced trauma. I believe all people and families have the potential to thrive, and enjoy finding the right supports to help clients reach their goals. As a neurodivergent, queer, adoptive parent myself, I have lived experience in all of these areas and bring this experience and understanding into the therapy space with me. I show up to every session as my authentic self and hope that that creates space for clients to do the same. I am an adoptive parent myself, so I have lived experience in this area as well.

I'm a licensed therapist with over 20 years experience in mental health. I specialize in helping adults and teens manage their symptoms of ADHD and anxiety, supporting women on their journeys toward personal fulfillment, and helping parents strengthen family cohesion through improved relationships in the home. My work typically integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy, through which I follow my clients cues and needs to guide them toward uncovering their inner strengths and potential, while also teaching practical and creative skills to help them manage their emotions and improve daily functioning. I believe that laughter can provide just as much therapeutic benefit as tears and welcome them both in our sessions. My focus is on fostering heartfelt connection with my clients to create a safe environment for them to work through their struggles and find ways to release their burdens and fully realize their vast capabilities.

I also specialize in early psychosis: working with teens and young adults experiencing their first break with reality, and the families trying to understand what's happening.

I have been in the psychology field for over 20 years now. I love what I do and helping every client become successful. The relationship between the client(s) and myself is important in achieving the goals we set together. How our past experiences have influenced our current lives is a key issue. I feel that support systems in our daily lives are important to examine. The issues of separation, loss, freedom, dependence and independence are crucial to examine as one leaves home and parental influences. I work with individuals, couples, teens and families. Every session is different because every client is different, as are their problems. I'll encourage you to talk and explore, in a structured way, your feelings and experiences. Whatever the technique or clinical approach, psychotherapy is not a magical cure, it is a process to help you find the capacity for improvement within yourself. Psychotherapy aims to help you gain insight into your difficulties or distress and enable you to find more appropriate ways of coping or bring about changes in your thinking and behavior. Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, beliefs, thoughts and events, sometimes from childhood, in a structured way to help you do it safely.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to figure it out alone. My goal is to make the process feel more supportive, clear, and approachable from the very beginning. I help teens and adults feel more confident, manage anxiety, and navigate relationships more effectively. I also support parents in building stronger, less conflict-filled relationships with their teens. Therapy here is not about fixing you or placing blame. It is about creating a space where your inner light, resilience, clarity and strength can emerge and be shared. My approach is relational and trauma-informed, integrating mindfulness, CBT, psychodynamic and narrative principles to support insight, healing and meaningful change. A bit about me...I became licensed in the state of California in 2011. Prior to that, I received a M.A. in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University and a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Women’s Studies from the University of California at Berkeley. I have worked in schools, non-profit agencies, and in private practice, serving diverse populations to include children, adolescents, adult individuals, families, and couples. I look forward to connecting with you. ** También hablo español. No dude en comunicarse conmigo si necesita apoyo. Espero poder conversar con usted pronto.

In 2019, I graduated from the PAU-Stanford PsyD Consortium, where I trained at the Stanford School of Medicine's psychiatry department and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital's program at a local high school. I attended internship (our version of residency, more or less) at the UC Davis Medical Center, where I received world-class training in the treatment of childhood trauma and early psychosis, both separately and together. I then completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Chicago Child Trauma Center, where I continued to build my expertise in the treatment of childhood trauma. After that, I worked at Kaiser Permanente, Oakland, for two and a half years, where I specialized in working with children and adolescents with complex, persistent symptom presentations, who had often been hospitalized multiple times for safety concerns and struggled to make progress with previous therapists.

I utilize a Telehealth platform in California and a Hybrid platform in Washington State. In my spare time, I enjoy trail riding my horses and working on my farm. Gardening and skiing are also passions of mine.

If you feel stuck in a cycle of overthinking, self-doubt, or pressure to hold everything together, you are not alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by their own thoughts, and together, we work on creating a clearer path forward. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel truly seen and supported while also gaining the skills to create lasting change. Outside of the office, you can usually find me working on a home reno project or cooking up a new recipe. As an LMFT, I specialize in working with individuals to navigate anxiety, burnout, or life transitions. My approach is collaborative and open-minded. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns that keep you stuck, providing you with practical, evidence-based tools to feel more in control of your daily life.

I am a Filipinx/German-American located in the Sacramento area. As a queer person, I love to queer what I do! I love being able to practice in alternative ways, such as adding expressive arts and spirituality in sessions. I love being comfortable in sessions (e.g., seated on the floor, a beverage, snack nearby in case I am hungry) and hope my clients feel comfortable doing the same. I have a lot of energy, but I can also meet you at a lower energy level as well to deepen our work. I plan on opening up an in-person practice in Sacramento this Fall 2026 and am looking for folks to come in person! I thoroughly enjoy being able to do in-person work and see folks progress!

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in California. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Parenting?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Parenting, is filtering therapists in California that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
