Teletherapy for Texas

You've likely done so much to try and fix things, but self-help isn't cutting it. This is why I tailor therapy to you and focus on giving you my full attention. I know each person is unique, with varying experiences and circumstances. I don't have any canned speeches, and I get down in the thick of things with you. Because our minds, bodies, and contexts are interconnected, I assess wholistically for what might be most helpful. I use therapy to create new experiences that build a sense of empowerment and compassion for yourself. Sometimes we need to change our minds first, and sometimes our behaviors, and we experiment with both.

Carrie understands the difficulties that can come with significant life changes and recognizes the importance of having positive mental health support during these life transitions.

Paralyzed, drowning, devastated, broken, stuck. I have heard many of these descriptions in initial appointments with clients. I am then humbled and amazed as these words evolve to relieved, empowered, valued, strong, and resilient as we work together in treatment. I am a marriage and family therapist offering teletherapy and in-person therapy services to my fellow Texans. In treatment, I focus on working with you to develop and maximize your distinct strengths to overcome the concerns you are presently encountering. I use research backed approaches that are uniquely tailored to you.

Are you struggling in your marriage/relationship? Does this sound familiar? Hi, my husband and I do not seem to be happy anymore. Over the years we have both made some bad mistakes and have hurt each other. Now, we hardly talk and when we do it becomes an argument, we say a lot of hurtful things to each other. In our last argument, things got really out of hand, and he left the house, slamming the door, and hasn't been back home since. I have been crying since last night. We love each other, but, after our last fight I just don’t know what to do or where to go from here. I really need some help.

I know some days are harder than others. I know it feels like two steps forward 3 steps back a lot of the time. I know overwhelm and panic creep up at inconvenient times, even with no explanation. It feels like there should be answers somewhere. It's frustrating, you want to figure it out once and for all. One minute your relationship is great and the next you're misunderstood and fighting. The Gottman Method can help. There truly can be calm amidst the storm. I use tools proven to help you feel understood and connected. Stop questioning your worth, your value, and all of your decisions. Let's work on it together.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist specialized to work with couples struggling with intercultural differences. You might feel like there is a disconnect between you and your partner which has led you to feel distant from each other. Maybe you disagree on how to raise the children, or what traditions and routines should look like in your family. These differences may also show up in your relationship with extended family. You are tired of discussing these topics and always ending in an argument with your partner. You want to feel closer to your partner, but you feel stuck and do not know how to make things better.

Sometimes in life we have debilitating difficulties that challenge our every thought & we need extra support to make it through. As a previous foster mom of 10 years, I know how difficult life can be. Maybe it’s the overwhelm of being a mom or having an amazing child/youth that struggles with ADHD, Autism or managing emotions. Maybe you would like to connect to set and achieve specific goals, get assistance setting and imposing boundaries, parenting tips or even just to become a better you. Regardless of your why, you matter & do not need to feel “broken” to seek therapy. Come as you are but don’t intend to stay as you are.

Do you feel like you are on the verge of losing an important relationship? Or do you feel defeated when battling negative thoughts and emotions due to a traumatic life experience? By looking at this page, you are taking the first step to be free from the challenges of life that seem to limit us. I take a collaborative approach in my sessions and work in partnership with my clients in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Accomplishing your pursuit of happiness is possible because being emotionally healthy is achievable. Let us work together to conquer the lies from the past and regain control over what matters the most to you.

When you are experiencing a major life transition—perhaps a love one just passed away, you recently received a diagnosis, or you just lost your job—you need someone who will experience that transition with you. You want someone who will meet you where you are, who will walk alongside you as you learn to live with this new reality.

Feeling stuck in your career and want help creating a more meaningful career? I've spent 10 years helping career explorers, job seekers, career changers, and discontented workers launch into more fulfilling careers. Wherever you are, I can help you move forward with more clarity and confidence. I use a highly individualized and pragmatic approach in guiding clients through making decisions, setting goals, and planning next steps towards reaching their full potential. I believe self-awareness and emotional honesty are central to creating full meaningful lives, so I prompt clients to explore their motives and inhibitions.

We are all a work in progress. Maybe you are… struggling with communication and conflict, feeling overwhelmed by grief and pain, looking to find fulfillment in your life, don't know who you or your partner is anymore, wondering how to address past issues/traumas with your partner, feeling burdened by life and choices, or want to foster more meaningful relationships... Maybe none of these fit you, but instead, you have other reasons for looking for a therapist that focuses on relationships. I am here to help you along that path.

Relationships can be a source of some of our greatest joys and deepest heartaches. Whether it's in our romantic relationships or between family members, we can get to a point where solutions seem impossible to find. What can we do when we feel so far from the ones we love? How can we help when a loved one is in struggle?

My clients are incredible women who haven't felt like themselves lately, as life changes have derailed them and left them with increased anxiety, self doubt, and lost self esteem. If it's been hard to connect authentically with those around you and you want to be able to make decisions, engage with others, and handle recent changes with more confidence and peace, then I invite you to reach out.

A woman often begins her work with me because she's frustrated. Frustrated by emotional highs & lows, anxiety, or anger; by depression that's stealing her joy, or an inability to forgive that's creating bitterness. She often has a history of childhood trauma & shame that’s been largely ignored. She wants to improve her coping skills, mood and relationships, but doesn't know where to start.

Hello, Thank you for reaching out for help. Sometimes we all need someone to just listen. I get that. Now more than ever, people are experiencing loneliness and uncertainty. Maybe these are new feelings due to the global pandemic, maybe you are struggling with relationships, maybe you feel at a loss of what to do to make things better. Regardless of your circumstances, I believe that health, growth, and change are possibilities. I look forward to meeting you and hope that I can help you on your journey. I will meet you where you are and help you to take your next steps with kindness.

I specialize in working with anxieties, depression, trauma, as well as with teens and parents. I’ve worked with kids most of my life in one form or another doing therapy, mentoring, and teaching English abroad. Whatever is bothering you I’m here to help. LGBTQ friendly.
