Hi there, I'm Carrie!

I'm passionate about helping you establish a greater sense of self so you can thrive in your relationships and your life.

My focus

I work with clients struggling with complex trauma and insecure attachment patterns, including people-pleasing, perfectionism, social anxiety, fear of confrontation, self-doubt, narcissistic abuse, and relationship issues. I'm also experienced with generalized anxiety, depression, OCD, grief and loss, addiction, and eating disorders.

My approach

I take an eclectic, client-centered approach. My favorite modalities include Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, and DBT.

My communication style

Three words I'd use to describe my style: compassionate, curious, and strategic.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began studying psychology when I wanted to make sense of my own story. As a trauma survivor, I want to help inspire hope in others who are wrestling with their own stories.

My goals for you

You are the expert on your story, and together, we collaboratively create a healing plan.

Our first session

We'll spend time addressing your goals for therapy, past experiences, and any particular concerns. I understand clients often start from a place of frustration, desperation, or crisis. I prioritize what's most needed at the outset, keeping your end game in mind.
