Hello! I am a queer human and therapist, and it’s such an honor to be a part of and to work with Queer communities. Be it anxiety, depression, or life transitions such as gender exploration, work-life balance, or achievement pressure, I am here to help. Therapy offers a space for deeper examination and reflection, as well as growth and healing. You can rediscover joy too. Together, we will creatively explore how to step out of your comfort zone, while also taking good care of yourself. Choosing to change is scary, and worth it. You’re not in this alone.

Once upon a time, I didn't know who I was, and that made me depressed, anxious and insecure. The problem was, I was also pretty functional. I could almost make it through this life - going to work, paying my bills, dining out. Thankfully, I lost my patience. If you're curious or confused or losing your patience, let's talk. I've earned my letters and have fancy theories, but I'm helpful because I've been there and then found a better way. (For the geeks out there, my way is ACT, Hakomi and Buddhadharma).

Life can be challenging. What's your story?

Imagine therapy that actually works! Somatic therapy for multicultural, LGBTQIA+ folks, and creatives to heal from past traumas, learn healthy patterns in relationship, manage chronic illness & pain, and thrive despite day to day stressors. Imagine having support for anxiety & depression but also to access creativity, resilience, and joy! I love working with clients to explore big life questions, find what it means to stay true to yourself while living authentically between multiple expectations, cultures & languages. With over 15 years of experience, I rely on mindfulness, somatics, neuroscience, and supportive, honest feedback.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and in emotional turmoil? Are you finding the coping skills you once had to increase joy in your life and live independently with purpose has faded? Are you struggling with substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and/or utilizing coping skills that you know are harmful, however, you are stuck and wondering who you are in this stage of your life? Are you grieving and not even sure what you are feeling? You are not alone. Imagine having a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate space to talk and explore your emotions and re-create your life as you desire.

I'm here to help women through all seasons of their lives. I'm passionate about holding space for you if you've had or are thinking of having an abortion, are struggling with infertility, have experienced pregnancy loss, need help prenatally, are struggling postpartum, need someone to talk to about career, relationships, or parenting, and if you need space for the transition through menopause. No matter where you are in your journey, I'm here to walk with you.

Do you want to live life with more openness, lightheartedness and less struggle? Has traditional talk therapy just not worked for you? Do you feel stuck and don’t know what else to do? Are you seeking change to help reclaim your joy, health, and wellbeing? I am here to offer a new way to live your life and guide you on your journey inward through accessing mind, body and spirt for long lasting change. My presence is warm, attentive, and authentic. I will help you to genuinely access what exists inside you to help you become clear and confident in yourself and therefore make effective choices aligned with your true self.

Welcome. Enduring chronic pain and illness and living with disability can be a lonely and exhausting path. Healing doesn’t have to be too. I am a medical clinical social worker and mindbody health practitioner who specializes in working with individuals with chronic and/or significant medical conditions of any form. This means I have one foot in the world of mental health, psychology, and neuroscience and the other foot in the world of physical health, nutrition, and holistic lifestyle health.

Feeling stuck? Tired of leaning on bad habits? Ready for a change? Dr. Carrie works with individuals ready to figure out their next best move. She offers a variety of services from a $20 book (Self Help on the Go...check it out on Amazon!), to an affordable online course you can take at your own pace, to in person or virtual therapy and coaching sessions. Reach out and talk to Dr. Carrie about what you might need. At any level of service, she'll teach you how to leverage mental flexibility to become more resilient and improve how you habitually respond to life’s inevitable ups and downs.

Deciding to reach out to a therapist can be difficult, but it can be a strong and positive choice to help you overcome the obstacles in your life, to relieve your emotional suffering, and to help you recover an inner sense of confidence and the resilience to move forward. Through our therapeutic relationship, we can develop an understanding together of the roots of your struggles and how therapy can help you undo any negative narratives and coping strategies to help you relieve symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, relationships, and other issues and find a path towards more wellbeing and fulfillment.

Integrated holistic healing is not unidimensional, nor could it be. The concept of integrated healing is one which encompasses the whole. That being the mind, body and spirit of an individual. As an integrated health coach and mental health counselor, this is not simply my job, but my calling and deepest passion. Helping guide individuals who seek a deeper understanding of their inherent sense of wholeness, freedom and liveliness.

We all have great capacity for change but there can be grief barriers when integrating what was when on our way to becoming new. If we learn how to welcome in surrender to being with what is present and create more space in our lives to listen we strengthen our awareness. If we attend to it with loving kindness and a sense of curiosity about why we aren't aligning with our highest good we can find acceptance and understanding. If we then nurture all parts of ourselves (the inner children running the show) we can find freedom in taking steps to return to our capital "S" Self--our wild and most true nature, our biggest gift to offer.

Is your child verbally and physically aggressive that it is impossible to go out to even a store or you dread their teachers reporting their "behaviors" at school? Are you worried that your child is too shy to engage in positive friendship and activities? Parenting can be very challenging at times, and I am here to listen, understand, and create treatment plan that are unique and meaningful for your child and your family. I believe (& witnessed!) children thrive despite trauma and life challenges with consistent supportive caregiving!!!

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients enact meaningful change to improve the quality of their lives. I use a variety of modalities customized to your concerns and presenting problems so that therapy is not only effective but efficient as well. I believe it is ultimately my job to make myself obsolete and I am always happy when my clients feel they have integrated enough of therapy that they no longer "need" it.

Do you feel alone in intimate relationships, repeating destructive patterns you would like to change? Are you feeling cut off from your creativity or struggling to find meaningful direction in life? Are you successful in the world but sense something deeper is missing? My focus is helping you improve your quality of life through connecting with inner strengths, reclaiming parts of yourself that have been left behind. I work with couples and professionals - often in life and career transitions, frequently in tech, law, medicine, and mental heath. Some are musicians, artists and writers, looking for deeper connection.

I am a psychotherapist and expressive arts therapist based in Boulder, CO. I use a trauma-informed approach that draws on the depth of relational psychoanalysis, the practicality of cognitive behavioral therapy, and the expressive magic of somatic and art-based approaches. I love working with anxiety and OCD-related disorders, embodiment and trauma healing, relationship issues, gifted populations, and people looking to nurture their creativity. I work with adults, couples, and teens. I’m especially passionate about the journey of individuation while holding each unique life story in a social justice context.
