I'm Caitlyn,

meet the team
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and the 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.
Healing isn’t about avoiding the darkness; it’s about learning to move through it with compassion and awareness.
my approach
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with Specialized training in trauma treatment and resolution.
Carly works with people who are used to shrinking themselves. You may soften your voice, put your needs aside, or overthink to keep the peace. Over time, this can leave you feeling exhausted, disconnected from your feelings, or unsure of what you want. Some people experience this as burnout, persistent fatigue, low mood, or a sense of loneliness and disengagement.
In therapy, Carly helps you notice these patterns, understand how they show up in your life, and build practical tools to respond differently. She focuses on anxiety, overthinking, relationship patterns, and emotional overwhelm, supporting you in making choices that feel authentic and sustainable.
Work with Carly
It is possible to reclaim your inner strength, set boundaries that actually stick, and quiet the constant noise of self-doubt.
My approach is down-to-earth and collaborative, helping clients explore patterns, challenge limiting beliefs, and give all parts of themselves a voice.
Together, we’ll help you find more balance so you can move through life with clarity and ease.
