Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Carolyn!

Stress is inevitable! However, for those who suffer from trauma, loss, depression, and anxiety, even the smallest bump in the road can trigger an episode that affects your job, school, relationships, and overall well-being. You may feel stuck, angry, scared, or everything at once. You might cope by withdrawing, using substances, or engaging in unhealthy behaviors to erase traumatic memories, loneliness, or feelings of inadequacy.

I specialize in a wide range of areas including addiction, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, adolescent mental/behavioral health, depression, family relationships, gender identity, grief/bereavement, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, PTSD, intimate/romantic relationships, sex/intimacy issues, learning disorders, spirituality, stress, suicidal ideation and/or self-harming, trauma, dementia, and ADHD.

About me: I am a musician, artist, survivor, traveler, and an excellent cook. I love animals!

For the last 5 years, I have been working in the community as a Functional Family Therapist for adjudicated and pre-adjuducated teens and their families. In addition, I have been practicing privately for the last 3 years. I have also served as a grief counselor, substance use counselor and provided therapy to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Austin and Central America.

If you're ready to take the next step towards healing and growth, I'm here to support you. Let's work together to find the tools you need to manage life's challenges and thrive.

My approach to therapy

I believe in collaborating with my clients. Each person's experience is unique, and I tailor skills that respect, support, and are effective for those particular needs. I can be direct and solution-focused, but I also ensure that our space is safe to process emotions and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have extensive experience dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and loss in both my professional and personal life. My practice is built on the foundational belief that everyone has the strength to manage their unique stressors, have meaningful relationships, and pursue their interests. We only need to gain the understanding and acquire the tools to do so. I approach healing by creating a safe space, free of judgment, filled with openness, frankness, and a sense of humor!

What you can expect from me

For the first session, we will be getting to know each other at a pace that feels comfortable to you. Every person is unique and I like to honor that by not putting an expectation on what will happen. You will be met with warmth, kindness, respect, humor and absolute presence: for the first session and all to follow! Let's do this!
