My counseling skills include, but are not limited to: leading psyco-educational lectures for individuals and families impacted by addiction, facilitating groups for women impacted by betrayal, individuals, couples with emotional connection and communication difficulties, support with grief and loss...of a significant other, health crisis in the family and care-taking for the caregiver.

I have a strong desire to help couples experience the healing power of emotional connection. My specialization in attachment and trauma has lent itself to helping families reimagine their future, deepen their intimacy, and nurture their connection. I have training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and in Christian Sex Therapy. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern, I help women and teens impacted by betrayal and emotionally destructive relationships. I have a special love for leading couples groups and joyfully practice in both Dallas and Grapevine.

Hi there. I specialize with helping couples and/or families who are not satisfied in their relationships. Couples may have a range of issues from poor communication to deep betrayals of trust. Families may struggle with changing roles and dynamics in the home. When a couple or family is feeling disconnected or unsupported, the smallest issue can seem insurmountable. By working with a couples and family therapist, clients can expect to have their voices heard and their concerns validated. I am deeply committed to helping relationships learn to heal and connect.

I am an LPC Associate who believes in trusting the process of moment-by-moment, daily transformation. In a safe environment and relaxed body, we can explore emotions understand defenses, and notice the response in our bodies so that we can grow and heal. I believe in human resilience and seek to provide the resources, support, and courage to move through what life dishes out. I find healthy ways to integrate challenging experiences into our daily lives. I help widen the space between stimulus and response (Viktor Frankl), empowering people to choose the response that will enable them to be their best versions.

My primary focus is working with clients who want to create healthier relationships and have more fulfilling connections. This can be for couples or singles. Issues related to family of origin, friendships, intimate relationships, and relationships within families are often addressed in sessions. I also have experience with those struggling with anxiety, worry, and stress. In therapy I believe it is my role to be with clients on their journey of self discovery and acceptance and to build a healthy client-therapist relationship that they can take out into the world and use to build strong connections with others.

I know the pain that anxiety, marital problems, pornography, depression and anger can cause, but I also know how to transform those things into incredible joy, deep relationships, and a powerful sense of self-worth. I love helping people overcome the challenges they face in life, and I have both the personal experience and professional training to help them reach their goals. Do not let life drag you down any longer. Give me a call and together we can help you become the person you long to be.

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.

We all struggle sometimes, but ongoing issues can leave us exhausted, isolated, confused, discouraged... If your days or nights are hard to get through, if you can't seem to settle down or stop overthinking, if life feels scary or you don't know what to do, if you never feel good enough or can't seem to 'get over' or 'stop doing 'x',' I'd love to talk with you. My experience is broad, but my practice is largely focused on anxiety & stress disorders, trauma, grief & loss, and healthy coping/decision making during life transitions.

Our lives are filled with both joy and sadness, comforts and fears, strengths and weaknesses. At times we may feel that the negativity in our lives is more than we can handle. Those are times when seeking out counseling can provide a great benefit. It is my great pleasure to work with many people to help them achieve their goals, find comfort and peace, and live well adjusted, fulfilling lives. I am blessed to have provided services to those needing help with: childhood disorders, grief, abuse, marriage and family conflict, bullying, stress management, parenting, faith crises, premarital and many more.
