Perfect and bulletproof are seductive, but they don't exist in the human experience. We must walk into the arena, whatever it may be—a new relationship, an important meeting, our creative process, or a difficult family conversation—with courage and the willingness to engage. Rather than sitting on the sidelines and hurling judgment and advice, we must dare to show up and let ourselves be seen. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.~Brene Brown

As a psychotherapist, she specializes in trauma and PTSD, domestic violence, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Kaitlyn is direct, solution-focused, and passionate about removing barriers to getting individuals and families the services they need. In addition to her private practice, Kaitlyn is proactively involved with many mental health services and outreach programs.
Her podcast, Teatime with the Psychos, aims to break the stigma surrounding mental illness. Kaitlyn has also written her first book titled, “Healing is Messy AF”. Within these chapters you will find mental health topics woven together with personal experiences to create a fabric of humanness and connectedness. Inspired by a clinician’s ambition to assist people outside the four walls of an office, this book presents practical therapeutic techniques, statistics, and patient testimonials. This modern approach to therapy asks the reader to explore themselves and discover their autonomy over their body, their mind, and their future.
