HI, I'M KAITLYN!
I am a Carlsbad based California and Colorado Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about empowering others to find their inner peace and self-worth. I describe my therapeutic style as warm, grounding, and compassionate. I practice a holistic, body-centered approach to therapy using energy psychology, transpersonal psychology and somatic methods.
In my psychotherapy practice, my goal is to support you through relationship and attachment challenges, trauma / post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, and life transitions. My aim is to guide you go deeper inside yourself so that you can get to know all the parts of yourself, their fears, and what they truly need and want. Often, this is by going towards the parts that have been hurt in the past. My focus is on helping you love and accept all parts of yourself.
“When you can love all your parts, you can love all people.” - Dick Schwartz, PhD
I offer in-person sessions in Carlsbad Village and Telehealth sessions to residents of California and Colorado. I currently work with teens and adults and am in network with Optum/United Healthcare and Aetna insurance programs.
APPROACHES
EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUES
EFT Tapping is a method of energy psychology. It is considered a gentle method of reducing or eliminating, emotional and physical distress by stimulating relaxation of the body’s autonomic response system.
It has been a successfully researched therapeutic technique in trauma recovery.

MY PERSONAL BELIEFS
"True power is living the realization that you are your own healer, hero, and leader."
— Yung Pueblo
Many of the challenges we face as adults are not just personal — they are deeply rooted in systems of oppression that shape our identities, our beliefs, and how we see ourselves in the world. From childhood, we internalize messages shaped by racism, sexism, queerphobia, ableism, and other intersecting forms of marginalization. These systemic forces often manifest as limiting beliefs, disconnection, and emotional pain.
I believe that self-love is not just an individual act but a radical foundation for building healthy, inclusive, and thriving communities. As a strong advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, I deeply value affirming, culturally responsive care that honors your lived experience. True healing happens not in isolation, but through relationships that see the whole person — including the systems they navigate.
Together, we can explore your story with compassion, curiosity, and care. My role is to hold a space that is empathetic, non-judgmental, and grounded in reflective listening — so you can reclaim your voice and power, not in spite of the systems around you, but in resistance to them.
LET’S CONNECT
Committing to therapy and choosing the right therapist to share your story with is a big deal. Book a 15-minute no-cost, no-obligation consultation to see if we might be a good fit to work together for individual psychotherapy, yoga, or Reiki.
