About me

Greetings! My name is Carmen and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Before starting my own private practice, Abiding Connections LLC, I primarily specialized in hospice and palliative care as a medical social worker. My career thus far has been shaped by invaluable opportunities for service, noteworthy lessons on the importance of community, and has nurtured a deeper personal understanding of the meaning of life. I hope to be a witness of your triumphs and struggles; and to companion with you for a short time in your life. After all, life is not meant to be walked alone. Life is truly a journey, and it requires that we lean on one another for support, guidance, compassion, and understanding.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first visit together, I hope to understand what brought you to therapy. What are you going through? What’s the vision for your life? How can I best support you? My goal is to be a guide to help you find the answers within yourself.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I absolutely love hearing the stories of other people. I respect that we each have our own path and sometimes need a bit of guidance along the way. I will listen empathetically, nonjudgmentally, and with compassion.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am most comfortable serving individuals dealing with chronic illness, those experiencing significant life changes, and individuals struggling with depression and anxiety. I have personal experience with infertility, racial identity, and spiritual crisis concerns and would enjoy companioning with you through those experiences as well.
