Hi, I’m Caitlyn, but you can call me Cait
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and owner of Inner Illumination Therapy and Wellness, LLC.
I have specialized training in EMDR therapy and am passionate about helping women reconnect with themselves and trust their own inner knowing.
You're the one everyone leans on... but lately, you're not sure who you can lean on. You've gotten really good at keeping the peace. It's just costing you your own.
Life feels heavier than it used to. Maybe you're emotionally overwhelmed more easily. You constantly second-guess yourself, or you don't feel like the person you used to be. A relationship changed. A loss shifted something. Or maybe you've simply reached a point where you're asking yourself, "How did I get here?"
Many of my clients grew up feeling responsible for keeping the family functioning. Some were praised for being the "good" child until they started having needs of their own. Others learned to stay small, stay helpful, or stay quiet to maintain connection. Those patterns developed for a reason. They helped you adapt to what life asked of you, but today they may leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, and unsure whether you can trust your own instincts.

I use a blend of EMDR, parts work, nervous system regulation, and cognitive therapy. We'll explore the beliefs you've carried, the protective parts that stepped in when you needed them most, and the nervous system patterns that continue to shape your life today.
Together, we'll make sense of the experiences you've lived, reprocess the memories that continue to affect you, and reconstruct new belief systems. As you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, you'll have the opportunity to strengthen trust in your own inner knowing and create a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grounded, intuitive, & collaborative. My work isn't about pretending everything is love and light. It's about making space for the messy, uncomfortable parts of being human and helping you reconnect with yourself so you can navigate life's challenges with greater resilience, self-trust, and authenticity.
Cait's Approach
Therapy is not just a profession—it’s a calling.
Licensed Associate Professional Counselor, (LAPC)
Work with Jessica
I take a warm and collaborative approach, integrating mindfulness, EMDR, DBT-informed skills, and depth-oriented techniques to help clients process trauma, explore patterns, and develop greater emotional regulation and self-understanding.
Jess's approach
You do not have to be defined by your diagnosis, your past, or your pain.
You know your past is behind you, but sometimes, your mind and body haven’t gotten the message.
Maybe you feel stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. You care deeply for others but struggle to make space for yourself. You may wrestle with anxiety, guilt, boundaries, people-pleasing, difficult relationships, grief, or the feeling that you’ve lost touch with who you are.
Your experiences may have shaped the way you move through the world—whether through childhood experiences, loss, emotionally unavailable relationships, medical trauma, chronic illness, or years of caring for others. And while you may understand some of what you’ve been through, knowing why you feel or respond the way you do doesn’t always make it easier to change.
I’m also passionate about supporting clients through grief and bereavement, creating space to honor what has been lost while finding your footing in what comes next.
I believe our minds and bodies adapt for a reason. Together, we’ll explore the experiences and patterns underneath what you’re struggling with, helping you understand yourself with greater compassion while creating new ways of responding. My approach integrates EMDR and DBT-informed therapy to support deeper insight, emotional regulation, and meaningful change.
