It can be difficult to identify and make space for our needs for many reasons— competing obligations, the fast pace of life, or fear of rejection can get in the way. In these moments we often feel disconnected from people in our lives and from ourselves. I believe that personal exploration is essential to regaining connection, helping us attune to everything and everyone that give our lives meaning. To that end, I work collaboratively with clients to more deeply explore their sense of self and their distress, and I empower them to voice their needs and clarify the values, experiences, and relationships that matter most.

The desire to know and to be known is a normal human experience. I value the trauma-informed safety and client-centered connection we collaboratively create through a systematic lens. I am particularly sensitive to diversity in culture and self-identity, including with respect to race, gender and sexuality. I believe the importance of affirming the unique individual experience with cultural humility. Through compassion, sensitivity, and empowerment, we will work together respectfully to acknowledge vulnerability, unearth patterns, attend complexity, and gain ownership change to achieve the most authentic and expansive self.

Change is difficult. We often need someone we can trust to validate our struggles and nudge us forward. My clients feel some challenge, but are given realistic expectations, practical skills, and an open heart in return. They appreciate being held accountable while trusting they can safely make mistakes. Many find comfort in learning they have my unconditional support and that I breathe with them through distress.

Hello, my name is Carolann. I am accepting telehealth clients, and I am looking forward to working with you! As people, we experience peaks and valleys within our lives that may result in various experiences and feelings. When things are going well, we can feel happy, content, thankful, and even elated. When things are not going well, we can feel down, sad, overwhelmed, and alone. We all deserve to live with the most happiness possible within our lives, but life often brings with it enormous unwanted challenges that result in bringing us down. If you are not feeling emotionally/mentally well as you desire, I am here to help you!

Hi! I believe healing starts in spaces where you feel safe, affirmed, and truly seen. My work is grounded in a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, which means I walk beside you with deep respect for your lived experience, your pace, and your resilience. I center a multicultural and anti-oppressive lens in therapy. Our identities—racial, cultural, gender, spiritual, and more—shape how we move through the world, and they deserve to be honored and held with care. To me, therapy is like sailing a boat: you’re the captain, and I’m here to help you get your lifejacket on and navigate the waves together, stormy or calm.
