Hi!

I’m Kaylin, and I help driven, high‑functioning individuals -

people‑pleasers, caregivers, and overachievers - heal from burnout, stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm so they can feel grounded, confident, and fully present in their own lives.

​

Therapy isn’t about forcing yourself to “perform better” or fixing what’s “wrong” with you  - it’s about understanding how your mind and body have responded to prolonged pressure, stress, or past experiences, and learning how to change those patterns from the inside out.

You don’t have to fight your mind alone.

Let's be honest:

You don't actually want to control everything. You want to be able to let go of control and trust that everything will be ok. 

It’s exhausting trying to control every thought, every reaction, and every outcome - especially when the world seems to demand constant productivity and resilience. You might want to rest without guilt. You might want to stop feeling overwhelmed by stress or past experiences that still feel raw. You might know that something needs to shift - but you’re not sure where to start.

​

That’s where therapy comes in.

 

I help clients learn how to relate to their internal experience in a way that feels safe, empowering, and sustainable.

My 
Story

Here' the back story

I love this work because I’ve lived pieces of it myself. For years, I pushed hard - managing stress, overworking, and trying to juggle responsibilities without stopping to breathe. I thought resting was a luxury I didn’t deserve.

 

But burning out taught me something important: Rest isn’t optional - it’s essential.

 

Healing isn’t linear, and it isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all. You don’t have to drive yourself into the ground to earn a life that feels good.

​

Through my own experiences with stress, burnout, and navigating life with an autoimmune condition exacerbated by stress, I came to deeply value an approach that treats the whole person -  mind, body, and nervous system -  not just symptoms.

 

That lived experience informs how I show up with clients and how I design therapy that actually works for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, and exhausted.

My approach to therapy

Quiet Strength Therapy is rooted in the belief that true strength isn’t loud or forceful - it’s steady, grounded, and built from within.

 

I take a holistic, individualized approach to therapy that is grounded in evidence-based practices and attuned to your unique experience. In our work together, we explore your thoughts, emotions, patterns, and nervous system responses in meaningful ways—so you don’t just “survive” your life, but begin to feel more present, capable, and resilient within it.

​

Some of the ways I support clients include:

  • Mind-body awareness and self-regulation practices

  • Mindfulness-based techniques

  • Trauma-informed therapy (including EMDR when appropriate)

  • Exploration of core values and identity beyond burnout

  • Nervous system regulation and breathwork

  • Practical strategies for sustainable well-being

​

My goal isn’t to fix you - it’s to help you reconnect with the quiet strength and resilience that already exist within you, and learn how to access them without pushing, performing, or burning out.

Who I work with

I love working with people who:

​

  • Are intellectually curious and willing to engage in meaningful self‑reflection

  • Want therapy that feels collaborative rather than prescriptive

  • Are ready to try new approaches and insight‑based work

  • Appreciate a therapist who brings warmth, clarity, and even humor when appropriate

​

You don’t have to be perfect to do this work - you just have to be willing to be honest with yourself and ready to change the relationship you have with your stress and your past.

My why:

You can be productive and feel rested.

Your nervous system deserves peace just as much as your schedule deserves productivity.

You don’t have to earn your worth by burning yourself out.

Some fun stuff about me:

I’m an INFG, Manifesting Generator, Enneagram 4, and a Leo 

I love watching Rom-Coms by myself and psychological thrillers with others.

I’ve only ever watched the Kardashian’s once- but it was for like 12 hours straight

I don’t have a specific coffee order, but it’s always gonna be a latte with oat milk- chai, vanilla, matcha, honey lavender, mocha… you get the point.

I have a rescue dog, Ducky, named for the Land Before Time character she most resembles.

I used to be a summer girly, but in the past few years I’ve preferred the coziness of fall.

If you’re ready to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to what matters most, I’d be honored to support you on that journey.
