Hi hi! I’m Kaitlyn, an LCSW in Virginia specializing in grief therapy and anxiety management. I spend my days in a school division providing mental health services to rural kiddos, and then I come home to chase my own kiddos. Providing therapy brings me back to myself, as strange as that sounds. I am fueled by helping others!

Psychiatrist

Virtual & in-person • Arlington, VA


I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and I have been treating patients across the lifespan for over 15 years. Once my caseload became full in 2022, I founded a small practice (Tandem Telehealth) where I now oversee a handful of talented psychiatric nurse practitioners and talk therapists. The team approach allows us to provide faster access to care for new patients and a higher level of support than you would likely receive from individuals working independently.

Therapist

Life can feel incredibly heavy when the past refuses to stay in the past. If you’re tired of "just getting by," feeling constantly on edge, or noticing that old history is intruding on your present, I want you to know something important: healing does not have to be a retraumatizing experience.

I specialize in helping adults navigate unresolved trauma through a lens of total safety, pacing, and respect. You deserve a space where you can finally let your guard down, drop the heavy armor, and reclaim your story. Whenever you’re ready to transition from surviving to truly living, I am here to walk that path with you.
