Carrie's background and training is in Substance Abuse and Integrative Mental Health Counseling, and is a certified Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist. After a very rewarding and joyful career of raising five children, Carrie discovered her passion for psychology, counseling, and the clients she has been honored to work with.

Nothing touches the soul quite as much as someone trusting you with their deepest of pains.

I UNDERSTAND! I understand trauma, addiction and I understand pain. I have been in recovery from substance abuse and everything that comes with it since January of 1991.I know what it means to journey from a place of brokenness to a place of wholeness. Addiction and other maladaptive behaviors are just SYMPTOMS of a deeper rooted problem. If you feel like you KNOW what to do but just cannot seem to make yourself do it chances are you have unprocessed issues. If you are in need of support for yourself, or a loved one I would love to help you navigate the road of this journey.

**Currently has a waitlist** Asking for help can be a hard and scary thing to do. It takes courage to admit that you’re struggling. To me, therapy should be a safe space where you can be open, honest, and vulnerable without feeling ashamed, embarrassed, or judged.

I work primarily with adults and have a particular passion for working with women struggling with identity, self-esteem, relationship, & postpartum issues.

I began my career working in inpatient substance abuse facilities attached to hospitals. I am well-versed in groups for addiction and prefer individual counseling for issues in later recovery or dual diagnosis. I see adults and motivated adolescents in my practice. Both men and women are welcome as are couples and families. Other specialty areas are sexual abuse and mood disorders.

Finding a space to feel safe, heard, and valued can be extremely difficult. It's even harder to find this space, when we're feeling overwhelmed by life.

I truly strive to put my clients and their needs first.

Is your home full of animosity and turmoil? Are you having difficulty co-parenting with an ex or trying to blend two families into one?

One of the things life has taught me is to not believe everything you think because our mind can really play tricks on us. There is hope even when you think there is none. There are solutions even when you cannot see them, because you have more power than you know.
