Letting go and embracing the Unknown

Learning how to disconnect and reconnect.

Welcome to a Safe Haven of Emotional Well-being

Hi, I’m Kaitlyn — I am so glad you’re here!
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC13782) who provides psychotherapy services in the state of CA. I draw from both professional and personal experience to guide me in my work with individuals struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and specific phobias. Together, we can navigate life’s uncertainties and walk along the path of healing.

Your Journey to Inner Transformation

My Collaborative Approach

01

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on exploration of how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact with one another. Through gaining awareness of cognitive distortions and patterns, we are better equipped to challenge and restructure sticky thoughts. This allows us to better respond to these challenging thoughts and behave in ways that feel more balanced.

02

Exposure and Response prevention (ERP)

ERP is the “gold standard” of treatment when tackling obsessive-compulsive disorder and specific phobias. This involves gradual exposure to feared stimuli paired with the extinction of compulsive behaviors. Through this process, the intensity of fear begins to diminish.

03

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is a mindfulness-based behavioral therapy that focuses on reconnecting to the present moment and values-based living. Growing research suggests that ERP paired with ACT and mindfulness-based training is an effective treatment to OCD/OC-Spectrum Disorders.
