Carrie is a great communicator and a great listener. She has a great deal of experience and is able to point things out to me that I am missing, and also ask questions that make me consider different aspects of my situation. She is direct, but also considerate of how she phrases her opinion on sensitive subjects. I highly recommend her.
VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Carrie!

I am gentle, patient, understanding, and easygoing. As the oldest of 11 and mother of five, I consider myself very motherly. I have a history of working with foster and at-risk children who have experienced trauma. I've also worked with women who identify as bisexual.

My focus

I typically work with women and groups. I enjoy the life-changing experience of group work and run groups and workshops in my private practice. My groups often use the arts and past-life regression as means of greater self-understanding. I work with women toward self-acceptance and self-love, empowering them to be assertive.

My approach

I have a trauma history of my own, so I am very understanding and non-judgmental. I start where you are and walk beside you as you learn to navigate your life. I help people understand themselves on a deeper level, navigate co-dependency, and build self-esteem. I know the path out as I used to be there myself.
