About Caitlin

Hi, I’m Caitlin. I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist in Calgary who loves helping children, teens, and adults build emotional strength, self-confidence, and healthy coping skills. I’m passionate about supporting families and young people through life’s challenges and giving them a safe, encouraging space to grow.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked at The Mustard Seed as an Addictions Recovery Program Supervisor, Wellness Advocate, and Clinic Coordinator. My work with vulnerable and high-needs populations shaped my belief in the power of empathy, stability, and connection, and it drives my commitment to helping people feel supported, respected, and understood. That work also gave me experience with complex mental health challenges, risk assessment, and mental health advocacy.

I’m especially passionate about working with children and teenagers. With children, I use play therapy as a central tool, creating a safe and engaging space where they can express their feelings, build confidence, and develop coping skills, and I work closely with parents and caregivers to support progress at home and in school. With teens, I prioritize building a strong, trusting relationship and respecting their individuality as they navigate anxiety, depression, academic pressures, social challenges, self-esteem concerns, and family or peer conflicts.

I also support young athletes with sports and performance anxiety, body image, identity, and self-confidence, helping them build resilience and a healthy sense of identity beyond athletic achievement. And I work with OCD and intrusive thoughts, helping clients of all ages understand what’s happening and feel less stuck.

With adults, I provide a collaborative and supportive space to address anxiety, depression, self-worth, and major transitions. We move at your pace, exploring emotions and past experiences, accepting all parts of yourself, and rediscovering your strengths. I welcome all experiences, identities, and emotions.

I use evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy, along with mindfulness and attachment-based techniques. Whether you’re a teen navigating school stress, an athlete balancing performance and mental wellness, a parent looking for support, or an adult working through life transitions, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

How I work

Play and sandtray therapy

With children, play is how they communicate. Through play and sandtray, kids can express feelings, work through experiences and build coping skills in a way that feels natural.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Learning to make room for hard thoughts and feelings, including anxious or intrusive ones, and moving toward what matters to you.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Practical tools for understanding how thoughts, feelings and actions connect, and for managing anxiety, OCD and performance pressure.

Also:

Narrative therapy, mindfulness-based, attachment-based, adoption-informed and person-centred therapy.

A bit more about me

When I’m not in session, you’ll find me coaching soccer, playing on my women’s soccer team, skiing, playing tennis, walking my dog, or playing Nintendo Switch. I also love baking, crafts, board games with friends, and looking after my growing plant collection. Staying active and creative keeps me grounded and brings a sense of play and balance I carry into my work with clients.
