It is my belief that the experiences we have throughout our lives, both positive and negative, shape who we become and the way we see the world. Sometimes we develop patterns that make sense at one time in our life, but that do not make sense, nor serve us well, at a different point in time. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their current and past experiences with empathy, warmth and curiosity in order to develop strengths and remove barriers to joy and fulfillment. In this way I intend to assist clients in navigating and coping with the complexities of life.

*I currently only offer virtual sessions* Welcome to my profile. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge your courage to seek support and every effort that brought you to this point in your journey. The human experience is deeply complex and we all need a gentle voice to guide us through transitions and challenges (myself included). I believe most mental health challenges stem from our innate desire to survive and connect with others - we are human after all. By becoming aware of your relational patterns and emotional responses, you can foster better understanding of yourself and others.

I have run men's groups for nearly 30 years helping men become more effective and loving husbands partners, fathers and sons as well as better stewards in their outside world.The aim of this Men's Group is to create a context where each man is able to be honest, vulnerable and feel safe enough to speak his previously undisclosed inner truth in the presence of other supportive men, and to feel and show emotions other than anger. A place where men can feel their deepest emotions - laugh and cry and restore a true brotherhood.

Caitlin likes to work from an integrative approach toward therapy modalities because she believes that every individual’s process is unique, and that treatment should not comply with a one-size-fits-all approach. She believes assessing the cognitive, emotional, somatic, and behavioural aspects of all experiences is important. Caitlin draws from evidence-based treatments like Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Trauma- Informed Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Mindfulness.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?

Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?

Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?

Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?

It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
