I'm Caitlyn,

I am the owner of Inner Illumination Therapy and Counseling, LLC.
I am a master’s-level therapist, licensed as an LPC, with specialized training in EMDR therapy to support clients in processing trauma and fostering healing.
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
I am a licensed professional therapist (LPC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with specialized training in trauma assessment, treatment, and evidence-based interventions.
The clients I enjoy working with are the deep feelers and high achievers; the ones who show up for everyone else but quietly struggle under the pressure. On the outside, you seem strong and capable. Inside, stress, anxiety, and overwhelm are starting to take a toll.
Whether it’s work or school burnout, relationship struggles, family expectations, perfectionism, ADHD, or being highly sensitive (HSP) — life can feel like too much. You want to feel calmer, more confident, set boundaries without guilt, and stop carrying everything alone.
Work with Carly
My style combines insight into your past, awareness of how stress shows up right now, and exploration of the deeper meaning behind your experiences, helping you break cycles and feel more confident in who you are.
Together, we’ll help you find more balance so you can move through life with clarity and ease.
Over time, the noise of self-doubt and people-pleasing quiets.
My grounded, down-to-earth style brings in humor when it fits because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy.
