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.

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.
