Meet Caylin

Welcome! I’m Caylin, and I’m looking forward to meeting you. Here’s a little about me:

​

I believe deeply that counseling is rooted in our human design—that we are wired for relationship and shaped through connection with others. We are not meant to navigate life alone, but to live interdependently, supporting and being supported. Because of this, I believe meaningful growth and healing happen best in the context of safe, attuned relationships, which is foundational to how I approach my work.

​

To equip me as a professional therapist, I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, as well as a Certificate of Completion in Narrative Focused Trauma Care Level 1 through the Allender Center at The Seattle School. Prior to my clinical training, I spent 15 years in full-time pastoral ministry alongside my husband, where I also completed over 100 hours of counseling training.

​

These experiences, along with my role as a mother, have given me the privilege of walking alongside a wide range of people—both young and old. My husband and I have five children and one daughter-in-law, ranging from adolescence up through adulthood. Through these relationships, as well as my own family of origin story, I have come to see what is true for all of us: life holds both joy and pain, hope and despair, loss and renewal.

​

At the core of my work is a commitment to helping you feel seen, known, and understood. As your therapist, I strive to cultivate a space of safety, vulnerability, and emotional connection. Over time, through our collaborative relationship, we will explore and make meaning of the pain that has emerged through relational wounds in your life.

I believe that our earliest relationships profoundly shape who we are, influencing how we experience ourselves and others today. Together, we will gently explore your story—past and present—to better understand the roots of your emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors.

​

My approach to counseling is informed by attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and the power of story. As we gain awareness, my hope is that it will open the door to new ways of being—ones marked by greater wholeness, agency, and joy. The struggles you face today can serve as important signals, inviting reflection on the past while pointing toward healing and freedom in the future.
