My name is Dr. Kaytlin and I am a licensed Psychologist in the state of Oregon. I received my doctorate from George Fox University (Psy.D.) in Newberg, Oregon and completed my pre-doctoral internship in Connecticut working with survivors of traumatic events. I work primarily with women who between the ages of 16 to 50 who are struggling with anxious thoughts, perfectionism, obsessions, compulsions, specific phobias, launching into adulthood, self-esteem, and body acceptance. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) in my work with patients, but also draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My hope is to honor my patients as holistic humans with their own diverse experiences and identities. This includes respecting those of different religious or spiritual backgrounds, values, cultural, and racial heritage, gender or sexual identity, disability or socioeconomic status. I do support body positivity/neutrality, food without morality, and the Health at Every Size movement. I believe that therapy should be a space where you can laugh as often as you cry and where your strengths are just as important as your growth areas.
 

You should probably know that I do think pineapple belongs on pizza and that cats are superior to dogs. As a mental health provider, I do love cardigans, but don’t have the same affection for tea. You can find me thrift shopping, singing poorly to Broadway soundtracks, at a spin class, or trying wacky food combinations when I am not at work. Whether or not I am the best fit for you, I wish you all the best on your mental health journey.
