About Caitlin

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and Oregon. I provide therapy for adolescents and adults navigating anxiety and mood disorders, OCD, trauma, chronic illness, and related challenges.

I studied Psychology and Religion at UC San Diego and earned my Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University. I have received intensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) through Behavioral Tech and Columbia’s DBT Training Program.

My clinical experience includes work at NYU Child Study Center in New York City and Clearwater Clinic in Oakland, where I provided DBT and CBT-based treatment to adolescents, adults, and families.

In addition to my clinical training, my work is deeply informed by my Zen practice. I have been a Zen practitioner since 2008 and spent four years in residential training at San Francisco Zen Center, including leadership roles at City Center and Tassajara Zen Mountain Center.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your individual needs. Clients often describe my style as warm, engaged, and direct. I integrate evidence-based approaches with mindfulness and awareness practices to support meaningful, sustainable change.
