⸻ I work with clients who feel everything deeply—and sometimes wish they didn’t. Many describe their inner world as intense, confusing, or exhausting. They’re thoughtful, capable people who appear composed while often feeling overwhelmed within. Whether it’s depression that lingers, anxiety that won’t quiet, anger that erupts, or emotional numbness that disconnects you, I help you understand what your emotions are communicating rather than letting them dictate your thoughts, behavior, or relationships. My style is warm, curious, and collaborative, grounded in evidence-based strategies that build resilience, balance, and self-trust
I listen as you describe the life you want to live and the person you want to become, then guide you—step by step—through the changes needed to make it real. And if you’re unsure where you’re headed, or what your dream looks like—we’ll uncover that together, clarifying your direction and building a life that feels intentional, grounded, and truly yours.
I want to work with you to uncover what’s getting in the way of where you want to go and who you want to become. Therapy is hard; the growth it brings for my clients, lasts. Simple isn't easy. The difficult just means it's worth it. Let's talk.

I have a very no frills approach to billing. My biller, Lisa is the best! If using your health insurance policy for therapy and a co-pay is due, it's automatically pulled on the night of the session so no large balances accrue. Some clients private pay, this is pulled morning of session. EZPZ.

Clients struggling with depression, anxiety, shame, anger, or uncertainty about who they are often come to me ready for change. In our work you develop a new mindset, skill set, and language—transforming how you make choices: aligning your values with your words and actions. Most find that this process fosters deep self-acceptance and lasting change, often describing therapy as life-changing.

I primarily draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you recognize and shift patterns that keep you from where you want to be. Narrative and psychodynamic approaches support the deeper work of understanding your story, while Mindful Self-Compassion and embodiment practices are woven throughout so you can feel more at home being yourself.

Carin J Osvog

State-Certified, adherent Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is one of the leading examples of an evidence-based practice. DBT is a treatment that has been proven to be effective with people who struggle to tolerate distress effectively, who experience persistent, up-and-down emotional misery, and struggle with their relationships (either professionally / personally or both). All clients in this group identify as part of the queer community. It is a judgement-free, safe space. This group seeks to see, value, and serve the community that has often not been seen (supportively), valued (culturally), or served (within the mental health community).
