Great to meet you!

Hi my name is Carole, I have been a Licensed Clinical Social worker for over 35 years. I have worked in addictions, family dynamics, bariatrics, eating disorders, criminal justice, and crisis intervention settings. As a compassionate therapist, I’m here to support you in your journey towards healing and self-discovery. I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and interpersonal relationship issues. Using a multi therapeutic approach that combines humanistic, compassion-based therapy with powerful tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based, Dialectical Behavioral (DBT),mindfulness, self care, holistic therapy, and meditation. We will work together to address your specific challenges and unlock your inner strength to move forward. I am very passionate about this work and look forward to helping you move to a happy place in life.

My approach to therapy

Everyone has a unique story and we will start there developing your individualized approach to care. I will be your partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way. This is hard work but together we will succeed.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory/intake session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve from therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I will create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to help you meet your goals and live a fulfilling life.
