I'm Carole. Do you often ask yourself, is this the best life has to offer? Maybe you're feeling anxious, depressed, or coping with an addiction. Perhaps you are quick-tempered or irritable at work or home. Are you feeling as if you're losing your teen or are you struggling to connect with your aging parents? Could it be the sense of safety and love you once felt for your partner is no longer there? Or maybe you're not sure what's wrong – you're just sick of feeling tired and empty all the time. Let us work together to find the answers to these and many other questions that may have caused you to lose hope.
My approach
Together, we can examine the relationship between your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. We can gain insight into your aspirations, help you heal from past or current trauma, and begin building lasting and meaningful relationships. In our time together we will address the issues that brought you to counseling, adopting a curious and positive approach that focuses on the possibilities you truly envision for your life.
My focus
I collaborate with individuals, children, teenagers, and families, helping them find or regain the joy that is absent in life. My specialties include working with children, depression, life coaching, life transitions, mood disorders, self-esteem, spirituality, stress, women's issues, and child abuse or neglect.
My communication style
My warm and empathetic approach will guide our therapeutic connection and provide you the space and safety to express your true thoughts and feelings, without judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Arts (MA) in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, CA. I studied there from August 2004 to May 2007 to gain the knowledge and skills to effectively help individuals and families as a therapist.
My goals for you
My goal is to help you find the answers and hope that may currently feel out of reach. Through our work together, I aim to guide you in gaining insight, healing, and building the meaningful relationships and life you envision for yourself.
