Hello!

My name is Kaylynn (she/her), and I'm here to make your journey through therapy as comforting and effective as possible. With a focus on addressing stress, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, life transitions, trauma, and PTSD, I offer a safe and open environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities, I tailor our sessions to suit your needs and help you achieve your therapy and life goals.

My Story

I grew up in the heart of the Midwest living in the Quad Cities, and for a brief time in the Chicago suburb of Lombard. After high school I joined the military, serving in the Air Force as an aircraft mechanic, with two deployments to Afghanistan, and countless experiences around the globe. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for mentoring and guiding others through life's challenges.

Driven by this calling, I pursued my education, earning a B.A. in Psychology from Seattle University and an M.A. in Social Work from the University of Southern California (MSW). As a Licensed Social Work Associate Independent Clinical Therapist (LSWAIC, WA license: SC61257478), I prioritize delivering the highest quality of care, regularly consulting with my supervisor and colleagues, to ensure your needs are met.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I find comfort and inspiration in traveling, indulging in art projects, immersing myself in nature's beauty, unwinding at home, and occasionally engaging in some video game adventures.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Currently I use a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) including Flash, Energy Psychology, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Person-Centered, and Problem-Solving Therapy.

I am also currently working on my Certificate of Sex Therapy at Antioch Seattle, to further help my clients explore their identities and work through any sex related concerns.
