About Me

Life is meant to be enjoyed, even with all of it's inevitable ups and downs. Therapy with Dr. Carrie teaches you how to more skillfully (and joyfully!) manage relationships, work, stress, parenting and emotions. Sessions are offered in person or virtual, and at the pace you desire. Call today to get started!

Approach

When life feels overwhelming, therapy can guide you with small, doable steps that build steadiness and choice. Sessions move at a measured pace: brief skill practice in-session, targeted memory work when you're ready, and short in-between-session experiments that connect therapy to everyday life. You'll notice a practical rhythm — calm assessment, clear goals, and steady practice — that helps you make meaningful shifts. This way of working often suits people who want down-to-earth, structured support.
