I enjoy helping people become the best version of themselves. My passion is working with student athletes, past and present, male or female. Athletes experience depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, stress, and pre-existing mental health conditions . Getting the help they need can help enhance their overall well-being and quality of life which could also help their performance in their respective sport. Some issues affecting student athletes are performance and perfectionism, burnout, meeting high expectations, fear of injury, returning from injury, pressure to go professional, performance anxiety, family problems, and team conflicts.

At some point in our lives we reach a point where either the tools we have been using are no longer working for us, or, we are unable to see the path forward. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations in life and we are not quite sure how we got there, or we find ourselves reacting to things in a way that we don't quite understand. In a safe, open, judgement free environment, Carolina will work with you to find solutions and improvements, leading you back to your path and where you want to be.

**WAITLIST FOR NEW CLIENTS** Having the willingness to bring yourself into the counseling room and sharing your deepest hurts with a stranger can be extremely difficult. Coming in with the openness and desire to get better without knowing how it is all going to work takes a lot of courage. A desire to get better is where it starts, the next step is showing up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I know it's scary, but you won't be walking this road alone. My job is to stand alongside you and help guide the steps to healing.

Are constant issues between you and your partner leading your relationship to a place of hopelessness? Are feelings of unhappiness causing you to lack motivation in doing the things you once enjoyed? Are unpleasant memories of a traumatic event creating nightmares or keeping you on edge? If this describes you, I believe I can help. Managing conflict in healthy ways helps restore hope in a relationship. Feeling good about yourself and the joys of life increase happiness and motivation to do what you desire. Learning to reduce stress levels in exposure to trauma helps you relax and focus on healing your mind, body, and spirit.

I will challenge those internal thoughts that can be defeating, and empower you to pursue your goals as you gain an increased understanding of your life and find solutions to your situations.

I am licensed in the state of Florida since 2011 and I am also a Qualified Supervisor for RCI's. Relationships are a full time job and can be overwhelming yet so worth it.

Relationships should be where we find love, safety, and fulfillment. It is terrifying and heartbreaking to think that your marriage might end. There is a distance between you and your spouse that can no longer be ignored. Your family needs help to build and improve your connection with one another. Feeling desperate for a solution. You want so much more for yourself, your family, and/or your marriage.

Media & societal pressures have conditioned us to hate ourselves and our appearance. We speak to ourselves as if we are the bully and the victim. The only hope we have is to alter our appearance, until we realize that doesn’t help how we view ourselves. My experience is with people who struggle from eating disorders, OCD, body image, gender dysphoria, trauma, and co-occurring diagnoses. My heart goes out to those who are disillusioned about their lack of worth. In struggling with my own body image, learning to love myself was a huge transition. This journey prepared me to help others along with their own self-worth challenges.

Whether you're dealing with issues like anxiety, depression, bi polar disorder, panic attacks, OCD, marital and family problems, addictions and other disorders, hope is available. We believe in solution based counseling to improve your quality of life and pride ourselves on providing a comforting and healing atmosphere.

In over 20 years of work with individuals and couples, and as a supervisor of other therapists, I have gained experience in working with problems including motivation and attention issues, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, procrastination, addictions and relationship problems. I have an interactive style which draws on cognitive-behavioral theory (CBT), interpersonal and developmental psychology. Together we will gain an understanding of the emotional, mental and behavioral habits which are getting in the way of you realizing your potential and preventing you from meeting your needs.

Since 1991 I've studied C.G. Jung's work. During this 32-year period, I have participated in workshops and lectures in Jungian psychology from Zurich, Switzerland to South Florida. I help clients resolve psychological roadblocks, conflicts and trauma. Jungian psychology works with the deepest layers of the unconscious psyche and engages clients in a process of transformation that goes well beyond symptom relief, resulting in optimal growth.

My clients usually want to feel better faster & learn mind-body-energy-spirit tools rather than rely on medication or even talk therapy long-term. Too often society gives us the message we are a victim of our genes or biochemistry. That makes us believe that healing our heart, brain and body is out of our control, and that our only options are drugs and surgeries. The latest science (neuroplasticity, epigenetics, quantum biology, consciousness studies+) suggests otherwise, showing that our brain, bodily mechanisms, even our genes, respond to our healthy changes in thinking and feeling. Shift our mind, our emotions and life follow.
