I’m Grace, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with both couples and individuals as they navigate life transitions, stressors and healing from trauma. My work focuses on a combination of practical tools to find more ease in your days and guide deeper self reflection to create more meaningful changes. My work focuses on exploring relationship dynamics, identities, LGBTQIA+ issues, grief, and existentialism-including political and climate anxiety. My approach can be described as experiential and collaborative and is informed by feminist and queer theory, and a restorative justice framework. You can expect me to show up with warmth, humor, approachability, and curiosity. I offer client’s an opportunity to explore the impact of external factors like relationships, societal expectations, and systems of oppression on their internal landscapes and parts. I believe in relationships as a core place of learning in life and will particularly attend to cycles of rupture and repair. This is a space for you to be in process, deconstruct learned scripts, and forge a new path forward. My educational background is in child/developmental psychology from the U of M and a masters in marriage and family therapy from Saint Mary’s University. I’ve also completed over 100 hours of advanced trainings (level 1 and 2) in Internal Family Systems, also known as IFS or parts work.

Caitlyn often works with teachers, therapist, organizers and artist. She enjoys supporting clients exploring and navigating relationships from the micro to macro systems. Including but not limited to relationships with ones self, friendships, partnerships, family, nature, spirit, ancestors and the political systems. She brings an understanding of the interconnectedness of it all to sessions. She is supportive in naming and deepening understanding of how anti-blackness, capitalism, imperialism and other isms are connected and is at the root of much unnecessary suffering.

She also invites room to embrace the messy, human and sometimes chaotic yet playful moments into life. She is a strong believer that a lot of healing happens in experiential ways, through meaningful relationships.

Caitlyn facilitates support groups and is looking forward to partnering with therapist and community members to integrate mental health support outside of the therapy room.

Caitlyn identifies as an Asian American, cis- gendered, and currently abled bodied artist and therapist.

Before being a therapist, Caitlyn worked in school systems as an equity specialist and doing community and family outreach.

Outside of therapy, Caitlyn enjoys painting, photography, cooking, dancing, reading, and being amongst loved ones.
