Warm, honest, zero judgement, and really glad you’re here.
For over a decade, I’ve supported children, parents, and families through some of
life’s hardest moments, as a therapist, school social worker, and advocate,
helping families navigate what feels messy, overwhelming, and uncertain.
When I became a mom myself, my understanding of this work deepened. As a mom of
three, I know firsthand the beauty, the mental load, the identity shifts, and the
emotional complexity of motherhood. I know what it feels like to pour so much of yourself
into caring for others while trying to reconnect with the woman you are beyond the
roles you hold.
I believe that when moms feel supported, understood, and connected to themselves, it
creates a ripple effect through the whole family. Supporting yourself isn’t separate
from caring for your children. When mothers thrive, families thrive.
Today, my work focuses on supporting women through the seasons that change us most:
becoming a mother, navigating postpartum, processing infertility and loss, managing
anxiety and overwhelm, perimenopause, redefining yourself, and finding your way back
to who you are.
Whether you’re in the thick of motherhood, navigating a new chapter, or simply ready
to understand yourself more deeply, you don’t have to do it alone.
Motherhood evolves through every season, from the postpartum transition and early
motherhood to adolescence, young adulthood, and the empty-nest years. Along the way
you may meet postpartum anxiety or depression, perfectionism, boundaries, burnout,
or the identity shifts of each new stage, learning to care for others while still
caring for yourself. Needing help doesn’t mean you’re failing; it means you’re human.

Loss & Miscarriage
It’s okay to not be okay.
Grief that lingers long after everyone expects you to be fine. Whether your loss was
recent or years ago, there is space here for the heartbreak of miscarriage,
stillbirth, and recurrent pregnancy loss. Your grief does not have an expiration
date, and your feelings, memories, and experiences deserve to be honored.
no. 3
Infertility
Your worth isn’t defined by this.
The cycles of hope and heartbreak that accompany infertility, pregnancy loss, and
fertility treatment are so often carried quietly and in silence. The appointments,
the waiting, the disappointments and decisions can feel isolating, especially when
the world expects you to simply keep moving forward or “stay positive.” You never
have to stay positive here, and you’ll never have to explain what IVF means.

Evolving Identity
“Wait… where did I go?”
Relationships, motherhood, and life’s transitions can change you in ways you never
expected. Together, we’ll help you reconnect with yourself, your values, and what
matters most, so you can care for others without losing yourself along the way.
no. 5
Parenting Support
Strong parents ask for help.
When parenting feels like it’s consuming your days, you don’t have to figure it out
alone. We’ll work together to understand what’s underneath the struggles and create
realistic strategies for bedtime challenges, big feelings, school stress, and
everyday parenting moments, including support navigating 504s, IEPs, and advocating
for neurodivergent children with confidence and compassion.
no. 6
Perimenopause
“Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”
Perimenopause can bring unexpected changes in your mood, anxiety, sleep, body, and
sense of self. You don’t have to navigate this transition alone. Together, we’ll
create space to understand these changes, reconnect with yourself, and find support
through this new season of life.

kind words
“Caitlyn spoke at a mom walk I attended and I instantly knew she was the sign I’d been looking for. She let me take my time in my healing. It was more layered than I expected, and she helped me get there without rushing or forcing anything. Through our sessions I learned practical tools that have transformed the quality of my daily life. I’m so grateful for how she’s improved my ability to be the mom I want to be.”
“Caitlyn was an integral part of my village for the last bit of my pregnancy and my first year as a mom. She’s professional and knowledgeable without being too clinical. Working with her feels like talking to a big sister. I feel so proud and confident in who I am as a mom because of Caitlyn.”
“Every new mom deserves a Caitlyn. She created a space where I immediately felt comfortable. She asked the right questions, always made me feel heard, and celebrated the wins, no matter how big or small. I recommend her with zero hesitation. She’s the real deal, and you deserve nothing less.”
“Caitlyn is providing a service for women and mothers that is so needed and underrepresented. She’s attentive and empathetic, truly there to support women through the challenges of transitioning into motherhood and beyond. Her compassion and professionalism are unmatched.”
“She is extremely dedicated to making sure mothers feel understood, cared for, and truly nurtured through every parenting phase. I’m honored to see how hard she works for us moms who are trying our best every day.”

good to knowA few questions, answered
Do you only work with moms?
No! Maternal mental health is my passion, but I work with women navigating depression, anxiety, infertility, OCD, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship stuff, and perimenopause too.
Are sessions in person or online?
Telehealth only. Most of my clients love the convenience. I send a private, HIPAA-compliant link and we meet wherever you’re comfortable.
Can I bring my baby to session?
Of course! That’s the perk of telehealth.
What are your fees?
Therapy is $225 (55 min). Parent strategy sessions are $325 (90 min), $450 with a written action plan, $135 follow-up check-ins. In-home intensives are a custom investment, shaped around your family’s needs.
Do you take insurance?
I’m out-of-network, so you pay up front and may be reimbursed a percentage through your out-of-network benefits. I provide superbills and partner with Mentaya (5% per claim) to make it easy. You can check your out-of-network benefits here.
How often do we meet?
Most clients start weekly. I usually suggest giving it at least six months, but the pace is always yours.
Can you help with my child’s behavior?
Yes. Beyond therapy, I offer parent strategy support for children ages 3 to 18: personalized consultations for behavior, big emotions, routines, sibling dynamics, school concerns, and 504/IEP advocacy. It’s offered as virtual support sessions across New Jersey, with in-home intensives for families who want deeper, in-person support.
