It’s never too late
to live your best life.
Sometimes, we get stuck…
Stuck on difficult emotions, thoughts, or behaviours – or perhaps you find yourself struggling with your relationship or struggling after a significant event that happened.
Perhaps you don’t feel stuck at all – but you don’t feel like you are living the life you want to and you know that something needs to change but you are not sure what.
What you do know is that you may not be able to do this on your own – get ‘unstuck’ – and you want to be different or have something change. We recognize how hard it must be for you to be at this place – how hard it is to change.

Therapist
Caitlin works with a wide range of adults, providing both assessment and treatment. She has worked with anxiety, depression, personality dysfunction, addictions, trauma, and illness. Central themes that have emerged often in her work include perceived absence of meaning/purpose, low self-esteem, loneliness, and difficulty managing change. She has particular interest in adults living with chronic physical health conditions (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease) and young adults in the early stages of identity development. She uses an integrative approach to therapy, including evidence-based concepts from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and existential therapy.
Caitlin works to ensure that her clients feel seen and wholly accepted, as the dynamic between therapist and client is fundamental to therapeutic success. She prioritizes collaborative synthesis between client goals and evidence-based principles of well-being (e.g., recalibrating the nervous system) to create a tailored treatment plan. Ultimately, she seeks to support desired change while promoting insight, self-acceptance, and personal autonomy.
Caitlin is currently in the process of registering for Supervised Practice with the College of Psychologists of Ontario and her clinical work is supervised under Drs. Tracy Dalgleish and Meagan Gallagher.
