I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced significant trauma. This includes both "Big T" trauma—such as life-threatening events—and "little t" trauma, which may not be life-threatening but can still have a profound emotional impact. Many of my clients have also developed patterns of insecure attachment as a result of these experiences. My therapeutic approach integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Attachment Theory to support healing and personal growth. I am also the author of "Forgive and Live", a book and video series.

Thanks for stopping by! First off, I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to explore therapy. Whether you're here out of curiosity, a friend's suggestion, or a personal decision, taking this step is significant, and I commend you for it. I'm Carin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and while my credentials equip me to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, my approach goes beyond that. I see you as a whole person, shaped by your experiences, environment, relationships, and culture. Therapy isn't about fixing you because you're not broken. It's about creating a space where you feel

I work best with teens and adults women and men who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just stuck in a tough season of life. Maybe your mind feels like it’s always racing, or you’re juggling a lot and trying to hold it all together. I also connect deeply with military veterans, active-duty service members, and their families — being a Navy brat and military spouse myself, I truly understand that lifestyle. If you’re looking for a therapist who gets it and offers a relaxed, supportive space to talk things through, I’d love to work with you.

My ideal clients are high-functioning women—leaders, nurturers, people pleasers—who are tired of pretending everything is okay. They often carry the hidden weight of childhood trauma, emotional abuse, or feeling like the black sheep. They're ready to stop shrinking, start healing, and reclaim their voice. They want peace, purpose, and permission to love themselves without guilt. My approach offers clarity, compassion, and practical strategies to help them rise.

We all long to be seen, heard, understood, acknowledged and loved. Healing occurs when we feel safe in our relationships and are able to connect to ourselves and with each other. We can then allow ourselves to be known and express what is true for us. I utilize a somatic, attachment-based, psychodynamic approach that gently explores old wounds and releases suppressed emotions which influence what you believe about yourself, determine the roles you play in life, and impact how you show up in the world. This approach reaches the root cause of your troubles.

My ideal client would be someone that is committed to helping themselves. Though it is hard, someone who is honest in sharing their issues is important in the relationship with the counselor. Not everyone knows why they need help; however, they can just feel that something is not right. Open dialogue with a person is necessary to get at the root of issues, needs, and goals. Discussion in session can help us make clear decisions and agree upon a plan.

Do you ever feel that you're living in the past? Do the thoughts, memories, and dreams keep coming back? Do you always feel that something bad is going to happen? These are some of the affects of trauma. Others can include panic attacks, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. Unfortunately we can't talk (or logic) our way out of our body and brain's response to trauma, and often we leave talk therapy feeling like we're spinning our wheels. There is good news: we can help your brain and body heal from the trauma so that the past can STAY in the past. Healing is possible, and I'm excited to work with you.
