About Caitlin
My own personal healing journey has taught me so much about my mind and body. I found yoga and meditation after experiencing a great loss and discovered I could move through my grief by physically moving my body. I learned how to identify emotional trauma that had become stuck over time. This trapped emotion is what can perpetuate physical, emotional, or spiritual suffering that keeps us in a cycle of pain. Moving the emotion through the body, using the modality of yoga, dance, and meditation is what helps in the release of pain, and establishes a deeper connection to the self as a whole.
My approach is supportive, open, and flexible; my experience is diverse; I have worked with many different types of bodies, ethnicities, communities, ages, and levels of pain. I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Somatic Therapy from John F. Kennedy University and I’ve been teaching embodied movement for the past 10 years. Of those years, I have spent 5 as a Psychotherapist with my own private practice.
I welcome you.

My Work
I am currently working as a Certified Professional Coach specializing in stress management, addiction & recovery, and transformation.
I combine body-centered psychotherapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and somatic embodiment to assist you in becomming an active participant in your healing. To take what is painful, give it form, and release it into the ethos.
I use body-centered modalities such as expressive arts therapy, and emotionally focused therapy, while we explore your movement. I am attachment-based and trauma-focused, exploring internal family systems to help me understand the history of your family line and how that has impacted your mind and body connection. I may incorporate some traditional talk therapy, but the goal here is to bring the body into the conversation, create a relationship through awareness, and help you feel more free.
