My name is Carmen, LMFT and I have over 27 years of experience in clinical work and a broad range of experience. I approach therapy as a unique relationship and personal process of self-discovery and healing at the client's pace. While you can't always avoid the challenges that arise in your life, you do have choices about how you address them. My approach draws from the idea that there is much to learn from these struggles and that by decreasing the shame that makes it hard for you to face yourself, you create opportunities for making real and enduring changes in your life. And you don't have to do this alone.
I conceptualize clients' challenges and needs from a more psychodynamic perspective, and consider attachment patterns, early life experiences, and relationship histories. My therapeutic tool bag is vast, and I believe in customized treatment because what may work for you may not work for someone else and vice versa.
The first session can be a source of anxiety. We will take things at your pace. I'll get to know you by asking questions about your life, background, what brought you to therapy, and what goals you have. We'll talk about the process and I'll answer questions with transparency.

My style is warm, calm, approachable, gentle, and collaborative. I'm not a fast-paced, advice-giving therapist, but I do give direct and honest feedback. I like to go deeper while balancing acceptance and change. While sincerely validating your emotions and experiences, I will gently orient you toward the changes you want to see in your life.
