MY STORY

Hello & nice to meet you! My name is Cait (she/her/hers)

​

I was born and raised in New Jersey and found my way into marriage and family therapy after working with autistic clients and their families in 2010. From then on, I have been an active member of the MFT community. I received my masters degree from Seton Hall University & my PhD from Antioch University of New England. I currently work in private practice, as well as doing some teaching and consulting work. 

​

Although I take an integrative approach to therapy, Narrative (transforming problem stories into new stories that align with your values, based on meaning-making and reframing) and Contextual (exploring multigenerational patterns, past hurts, a multidimensional understanding of self and others, and not carrying negative parts of the past with you into the present and future) models are at the core of my work. Particularly when working with partner relationships, I also tend to use Emotionally Focused and Gottman-based techniques, which focus on attachment, turning toward one another, and building shared meaning.

 

I am an out and proud member of the asexuality community and specialize in working with clients around sexual identity, gender identity, and systemic and relational dynamics. Additionally, I have done specific research and training around consensual non-monogamy, including my dissertation focused on working with CNM clients in relational therapy in 2023. I am passionate about social justice and continue to work to expand inclusive and affirming care in the field.​
