Caitlin Hill
LMFTA
Human beings share an intrinsic need for connection, understanding, and meaning through our relationships with each other. When these bonds suffer from repeated conflict, negative assumptions, and misunderstandings, it can leave you emotionally exhausted, caught in patterns of anger and resentment that seem impossible to escape. If you find yourself wondering whether you and your partner can truly know each other, or feel defeated by persistent disconnection without tools for meaningful change, you’re not alone—and I’m here to help you rediscover the path to understanding and intimacy in your most important relationships.
Jessica Kaluza

I help couples and families who struggle with communication and conflict find paths toward understanding and connection. With specialized training in premarital counseling and adoption-related concerns, I approach therapy through experiential and attachment-based methods, including Gottman Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). My goal is to help you build stronger, more fulfilling relationships based on mutual understanding.
