Welcome! I’m Cathlin,
Individual & Couples Therapist
Hi everyone, as a BIPOC therapist (Jamaican, Irish, Chinese), I approach therapy with the understanding that there is a lot of resistance and unknown when it comes to what therapy is all about. My approach to therapy is that we are all on this journey of healing, and therapy is one way to help us heal. Using a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens, we get to hold space for your lived experiences that have caused pain in your life. We work together to process and heal and move forward to becoming your true self. Attachment theory is my bread and butter and helps us to draw connections from our past into our present to give clarity on the why of who we are. My role is simple, I will work with you as a guide toward achieving your goals, uncovering patterns, reframing unhelpful thinking, healing from painful experiences, and provide you with tools and resources to empower you to live the life of your dreams. Therapy is a journey and it is in no means easy, it is hard work but you are not alone.
I hold a Masters in Social Work, I have been trained in CBT, EFT, and IFS. My values are to commit to creating a safe space for you, invest in my profession through trainings and resources, and attune to your individual set of needs as we work collaboratively together.
​
When I'm not working I enjoy going on hikes, bike rides, dancing, playing soccer, practicing piano and improving my French and Spanish.
