Great to meet you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed, irritable, or burnt out? Navigating the pressures of life can strain your relationships and diminish your self-worth. I specialize in helping talented and gifted high performers cultivate self compassion, stop worrying, and establish healthy boundaries. Together, we'll explore your feelings, thought and behavior patterns, empower your voice, and create sustainable habits. Through this collaborative journey, we’ll set attainable goals that foster emotional balance and resilience, guiding you toward the fulfilling life you deserve. You're not alone - let's uncover your path to holistic well-being.

My approach to therapy

Hi, I’m Carrie. I’m an attachment trauma specialist trained in cognitive (brain-based), somatic (body-based), art processing, and psychedelic therapies. I get how complicated and hard life can get. My approach is client centered, encouraging, and accepting. I will consult with you to see what tools in my repetoire will suite you best.

I am amazed by my clients' resilience & strength everyday. I have a passion for EMDR, IFS, art processing, and psychedelic therapy because these approaches provide sustainable relief. I believe all parts of you are valid. Let's work together to acknowledge what has been hard, what is here now, step out of what is holding you back & into your authentic self. Your Future Self is waiting!

Feel free to text me to get started.

What you can expect from me

We will start with you sharing your story and collaborate on a treatment plan and diagnosis unique to your needs and goals. I have a cozy office & I am also happy to meet virtually. My intent is that you leave our sessions lighter with a greater understanding of yourself, a sense of self compassion, and actionable steps to put into play after each session so you can integrate the work into your daily life.
