Life, with all its challenges can be overwhelming. Finding a trusted professional to process and explore these experiences can be helpful and meaningful.

Unease washes over you as you realize you're not thriving. This is so rough. Witnessing is often a journey filled with emotional challenges, leaving you grappling with a deep sense of fear and uncertainty. You notice subtle changes in yourself -your demeanor—perhaps it's something about how you carry yourself, sadness in your eyes, or a reluctance to share your thoughts/feelings. Sometimes, it's as if you're watching the light within you dim. You try to connect, yet a part remains closed off, wrapped in your world of turmoil. Memories of energetic, happy, and fearless times haunt you, enforcing your belief that you deserve support.

Hi there, I'm Carrie! My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a deep commitment to empowering clients to achieve meaningful change. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop mindfulness skills and foster psychological flexibility, aligning their actions with their values. Drawing from the Humanistic-Existential approach, I guide clients in exploring their personal life experiences to uncover their full potential while addressing universal aspects of the human condition, such as isolation, meaning, and freedom.

You might be here because something in you hurts. That may be an emotional, physical, or relational pain. You may be grieving a loss, navigating the stress of a chronic illness, struggling with anxiety or depression, or feeling the impact of a past trauma. You might also be carrying the pain of being misunderstood or excluded. As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I understand what it feels like to be overlooked or judged for experiences others find hard to face, and this fuels my passion for working with individuals who have been marginalized, misunderstood, dismissed, unseen, or told their pain is too much.

Sometimes life makes it feel like there are limited options, and our feelings can be overwhelming. However, in the face of pain and suffering, we have the power to choose how to engage with these hardships. There is freedom to choose our responses, and moving forward with committed action is empowering. We would be happy to collaborate with you in the therapeutic process, to explore feelings, learning coping skills, and maintain healthy responses. In life we may feel content being still, making lateral moves, or at times pivoting. As we navigate your views of self, thriving, living we can face carpe diem, seize the day.

I accept self-pay and am in network with Optum/UHC/UMR, Aetna, Ambetter, Mercy UMR, and Medicare Part B (not Medicare Advantage plans).
People tend to find me when they’re feeling anxious, disconnected, confused, reacting in ways they don’t understand or like, or are feeling “too much” or nothing at all. Many of my clients are undergoing life transitions of all kinds, experiencing loss, feeling stuck in patterns, and seeking deeper understanding and lasting change. I draw from my training and education in both biology and counseling to highlight the mind-body connection. This can be beneficial in working with somatic/bodily effects of trauma, physical symptoms and illnesses, and many of our other layered experiences that come with having bodies.

It is important to talk through the different therapy strategies with a client to determine what suits them and meets their expectations of treatment. I like using different modalities of treatment (like Dialectical Behavioral Treatment, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Client-Centered Interventions) and feel it is important to educate the client on these options so they can decide on what will work well for them. Regardless of the treatment modality they choose, setting realistic treatment goals is so important and will allow clients to see change as they work through treatment.
