Real change comes from understanding why our own impulses and behaviors hold us back from experiencing our true potential and discovering the skills to create the change we seek. I believe in a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy that helps people find the answers that were inside them all along. As a therapist, I am intuitive and compassionate, yet direct, and employ a mix of modalities, including traditional psychotherapy, cognitive therapy and mindfulness techniques.

Carolyn works primarily with adults, and has experience working with chemical dependency, people living with HIV, LGBTQ+ folks, life transitions, people in non-traditional relationship models (such as polyamory and people belonging to kink communities) and mood disorders.

I value offering a safe, supportive, inclusive space for when you instinctively feel exploring change is important. Together we will increase your resiliency, explore the relationships and experiences you want in life, building on your unique personality and strengths to achieve what you most desire. I have 20 years of experience working with people with various needs. I offer a range of approaches to assist you in moving through challenging life conditions towards finding more ease in life. I focus on relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, addictions and helping you integrate spirituality.

Welcome! Being human is a beautiful and vulnerable experience that doesn't always have directions or clear answers. It is hard to be faced with so many unknowns regarding health, finances, politics, relationships, and the world at large. If you are a highly sensitive person, you may feel raw to everything around you including sounds, physical touch, or even other peoples' emotions. Or perhaps you would like a more fulfilling sex life and/or would like to feel more connected in your relationship(s).

I specialize in psychoanalysis for people who were emotionally and psychologically abused. In particular, I often work with people who've suffered from sexual abuse (rape, trafficking, and molestation) and people who are recovering from cult-like situations (religious/ familial/ narcissistic partnerships). Your abuse does not need to fit a particular category. Many people who have suffered from psychological enslavement (of any kind) feel an intense sense of helplessness. My mission is to help you overcome the ways you’ve felt stuck, broken and incapable and to help you find language and a new way to shoulder the pain you carry.

You're sure the average therapist can't handle or accept you, because that's what you get everywhere else you go. School, work, almost everywhere, it's been an uphill struggle to fit in and feel understood -- IF you even bother anymore. If you DO find YOUR people, YOUR tribe, you spend the whole time secretly terrified they'll figure out you're not good enough and kick you out. You've been burned a few too many times, which just reinforces your belief that you'll never belong. All that rejection and pain sits in your body and spirit, grinding you down every day. But there's still part of you that believes you can find your place.

I believe in Temple Grandin's declaration, "I am different, not less." As a Certified Autism Specialist, I enjoy working with those who are neurodivergent thinkers, have an Autism or ADHD diagnosis, or who share traits with ASD/ADHD. My Texas-based therapy practice aims for you to feel supported, respected, and guided to find wellness and growth in your life. Are you wanting to improve your relationships, or share with others your truest self? I'd love to help. In addition to in-person, you can meet with me via telehealth throughout the states of Texas and Minnesota.

If you're here because your past traumas are creeping up on you, what you show the world doesn't align with what's on the inside, or your anxiety/depression has depleted you---I want to work with you. You might be someone who has a hard time asking for help, so the fact that you're even thinking about getting it is a big step. You don't have to keep feeling the way you are. Sometimes, we just need a therapist to guide us along our path to feeling better. I want you to feel equipped to handle life’s ever-changing ups and downs, and to be able to do it with a sense of purpose, stability, and self-awareness.

Hi there! The last few years have been quite something, huh? I imagine you are looking for a therapist as you want to feel better and find some relief in your day to day life. Step by step, we can do some healing, create clarity, explore parts of you and your identities, build a more stable foundation, and identify your values you want to live your life by. I am a queer, social justice-oriented, & trauma-informed therapist in her late 30s who is a half-time therapist, half-time creative, and full-time human. I believe all humans deserve access to mental health care and I utilize a financial justice sliding scale at my practice.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing issues related to sex, desire, traditional gender roles, and self image to support you in building the life you want. Couples/partners may struggle with communication related to sex, desire discrepancy, or unhelpful relationship dynamics. Individuals may wish to explore their sexual identity, unpack past traumas or family patterns that cause distress in present relationships, create new expressions of masculinity or femininity, or learn how to prioritize pleasure.
