Hi there, I'm Carmen!

You’ve spent much of your life taking care of everyone else being the strong one, the dependable one, the person everyone turns to while quietly putting yourself last. Maybe staying busy has helped you avoid past pain, but now your anxiety and daily life are telling you it’s time for change. It is time to take care of you and find time to heal.

My focus

I work with individuals who may appear to have it all together while privately struggling with anxiety, grief, loneliness, relationship challenges, or past childhood traumas. I especially welcome those who feel ready to go beyond simply managing symptoms and want to explore the deeper roots of what they are experiencing to eventually find healing.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert in your own experience. I integrate Brainspotting, EMDR, and other therapeutic approaches to help you explore difficult emotions, experiences, and patterns at a deeper level, while honoring the wisdom of your mind and body.
