Healing doesn't happen in isolation, it happens in relationship.
Hi, I’m Caitlyn — though most people call me Cait.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and owner of Inner Illumination Therapy and Counseling, LLC.
I have specialized training in EMDR therapy and a passion for deep shadow work. I help support clients in exploring themselves, processing trauma, and learning to regulate their nervous system.
Therapy is not just a profession—it’s a calling.
If you’re someone who’s always been “the strong one,” the caretaker, or the one holding it all together — I see you. You’ve carried so much for others, but now you’re ready to find more for you.
I specialize in helping women heal from trauma, whether it’s from childhood, family dynamics, or painful relationships. Many of the women I work with grew up with emotionally immature or emotionally unavailable parents and learned early on to take care of everyone else. They often became the parentified child, the scapegoat, or the peacemaker, and now they’re ready to break those patterns and reconnect with their true self.
Work with Cait
Together, we create space to quiet the noise and help you come home to yourself.
In our sessions, I use IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR therapy to gently explore what’s coming up in the present and how your past experiences and belief systems might still be influencing your life today. I may also incorporate tarot as a creative way to tap into your intuition and bypass the overthinking “monkey mind.”
My clients are usually highly sensitive or intuitive women (sometimes called HSPs) who feel energy deeply and have a strong inner knowing that’s often overshadowed by anxiety, stress, or fear.
My approach isn’t about pretending everything is light and love, it’s about building the resilience and capacity to face life’s challenges with more peace, strength, and self-trust.
my approach
Licensed Associate Professional Counselor, (LAPC)
Maybe your emotions feel overwhelming, your relationships leave you feeling misunderstood, or you've started to believe something is fundamentally wrong with you.
You may feel incomplete, wondering why you always fall into the same patterns, and feel trapped and defined by your past. Perhaps you're carrying a loss that has changed you, leaving you unsure of how to move forward.
I believe our minds and bodies adapt for a reason. The ways we protect ourselves often developed in response to experiences that once helped us survive.
Work with Jessica
Warm, collaborative, and grounded. I use insight, mindfulness, somatic practices, and DBT to help clients reconnect with themselves, regulate emotions, and build a life that feels more aligned.
My approach
If certain people or situations leave you feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck, past experiences may still be shaping your present.
Together, we’ll explore the experiences that shaped you, bring compassion to the ways you learned to protect yourself, and create space for meaningful change.
I'll help you reconnect with your mind and body through somatic therapies, fostering a sense of safety so healing can happen from the inside out. Together, we'll also build practical DBT skills to manage overwhelming emotions, mindfulness practices to help you stay grounded in the present, and healthier communication skills to strengthen your relationships.
You do not have to be defined by your diagnosis, your past, or your pain.
Healing begins when your experiences are met with compassion, understanding, & genuine connection.
