Great to meet you!

Welcome. I am Dr Carol and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of nursing experience and more than six years working directly in mental health care. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD and other mental health concerns.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and focused on understanding you as a whole person because you are not defined by your symptoms. I believe in meeting you where you are, taking the time to truly listen and understand what matters to you, and working together to create a treatment plan that fits your life, goals and your wellbeing.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance for me to get to know you beyond your symptoms; what you’ve been experiencing, what matters to you, and what you hope will improve. We’ll talk through your history, current concerns, and treatment goals, and together we’ll develop a plan that feels comfortable, realistic, and tailored to your needs.
