Professional statement

Caitlin specializes in providing compassionate therapy for individuals dealing with chronic or terminal medical illness, whether they are patients or caregivers. She also works with clients seeking to improve their anxiety and stress management, navigate grief and loss, and cope with major life transitions.

Caitlin believes that building a strong, collaborative partnership between client and clinician is essential. She is dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. Caitlin works closely with clients to process and reframe life experiences, reconnect with their core values, and develop practical solutions to challenges. Recognizing that each client has unique needs and goals, she tailors her approach to best fit those needs, drawing from a variety of therapeutic frameworks, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Theory.

Caitlin earned her master’s degree in social work from the University of Pennsylvania. She has pursued postgraduate training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at the Beck Institute and completed Megan Devine's Grief Care certification program. Caitlin has collaborated with the National Organization for Rare Disorders and NephCure to support patient and caregiver groups nationwide. Additionally, she brings a decade of experience from her work at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where she gained in-depth understanding of the challenges associated with chronic illness. In addition to Pennsylvania, Caitlin is also licensed in the states of New Jersey, Vermont, and Washington, DC.


Message to clients

Welcome! I am so glad you're here, and I want to extend a warm invitation as you embark on this journey towards healing and self-discovery. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it's perfectly normal to have a mix of feelings—excitement, uncertainty, hope. Whatever you're feeling, know that it's valid and that you are taking a courageous step towards a better understanding of yourself.

In our sessions together, my hope is that you will find a safe, supportive space where you can express yourself freely and explore the thoughts and feelings that matter most to you. We will work collaboratively to understand your experiences, identify your strengths, and develop new strategies to navigate life's challenges. Your goals and well-being are at the heart of our work, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

I would love to hear more about what is bringing you to therapy at this point in time, so schedule your free consultation call to see if this could be a good fit for you. I look forward to hearing from you!
