Are you struggling with betrayal, infidelity, or the weight of unspoken pain?
Caitlyn brings a holistic, trauma-informed lens to the treatment of betrayal trauma, infidelity, and psychological pain. Her clinical approach is designed for individuals and couples whose lives have been upended by breaches of trust and the distress of unmanaged compulsions. Drawing from her training at Antioch University Los Angeles and specialized certification in Phase 1 Brainspotting, Caitlyn offers a structured yet deeply compassionate framework that helps clients regain agency, emotional stability, and self-trust.
Her work is rooted in the belief that real healing requires moving beyond crisis-driven “emotional overwhelm” and into a sustainable life of shame resilience, integrity, and connection. Caitlyn supports her clients in:
- Restoring Integrity — Moving past secrets and compartmentalization toward a life of transparency, alignment, and accountability.
- Healing Betrayal Trauma — Navigating the specific anxiety, hypervigilance, and grief that follow a relational rupture, and helping partners rebuild a sense of safety in themselves and the relationship.
- Interrupting Compulsive Cycles — Using somatic awareness, DBT, and present-moment skills to help clients regulate the nervous system responses that fuel acting-out behaviors.
- Mindful Recovery — Integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and life-purpose work to reconnect clients with their inner resources and values.
Caitlyn’s clinical background spans intensive outpatient, school-based, and telehealth settings, where she has supported clients navigating relational distress, trauma histories, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, substance use, and PTSD. She integrates evidence-based tools — DBT, CBT, EFT, Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy — within a steady, attuned, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.
She is known for a grounded presence, the ability to build rapport quickly, and a willingness to “join clients where they are at” — a principle she carries from her earliest training into every session today. Her own lived experience with healing from trauma fuels her conviction that our greatest wounds, met with the right support, can become our greatest strengths.
When she isn’t working with clients, Caitlyn finds her balance through yoga, somatic practice, gardening, cooking, writing, singing, and creative expression — the same mindfulness-based grounding she invites her clients into.

When Will I Get Better?
Healing from betrayal trauma and compulsive behavior is rarely linear, but it is absolutely possible. Our work together creates space for both stabilization and deeper repair — helping you move from crisis and reactivity toward steadiness, clarity, and self-trust. Many clients begin to feel more grounded and less hijacked by shame within the first few months, while the deeper work of rebuilding integrity, intimacy, and identity unfolds at your own pace.
What will therapy be like?
Sessions are collaborative, paced, and trauma-informed. We blend talk therapy with somatic awareness, mindfulness, and tools from DBT, CBT, IFS, EFT, and Brainspotting. You won’t be rushed, judged, or asked to perform — we move at the speed of your nervous system. Whether you’re an individual working on compulsive sexual behavior, a betrayed partner trying to find solid ground again, or a couple rebuilding after infidelity, we’ll tailor the work to what you actually need.
How often should I attend Therapy?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions, which gives us the consistency needed to build safety, interrupt patterns, and make real progress. For couples in the early stages of betrayal repair, or individuals stabilizing from compulsive cycles, weekly is strongly recommended. As you gain stability, sessions can shift to every other week or as needed for ongoing maintenance.
