I am a licensed clinical social worker with a diverse background in mental health care across various settings and states. Outpatient therapy and telehealth therapy services are my primary focus. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, understanding, and respect for each client's unique experiences and emotions. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where individuals can explore their challenges, build resilience, and work toward meaningful change.

Get to know me

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

After your first session, you can expect to feel truly heard, understood, and empowered by new insights about yourself. You will develop effective coping skills, gain a deeper understanding of your symptoms, and learn techniques to support long-term symptom management.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a dedicated therapist, I bring empathy, patience, and deep understanding to every session. My approach is centered on active listening, helping clients feel truly heard and supported. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, manage life’s challenges, and foster personal growth. Through strong communication and problem-solving techniques, I guide clients toward meaningful solutions while respecting their unique journey. With adaptability and professionalism, I tailor my approach to meet each client’s specific needs, ensuring they feel empowered and encouraged. Healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all process, and I am committed to helping individuals find their own path to balance and resilience. Whether navigating anxiety, stress, depression, or emotional struggles, I am here to provide thoughtful guidance and unwavering support.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with those who feel overwhelmed by life's demands, struggle with negative thought patterns, or seek healthier ways to manage emotional responses. Whether you're facing daily stressors, deep-seated fears, or intense frustration, my goal is to provide guidance and strategies that empower you to regain balance, build resilience, and foster personal growth. Through thoughtful conversations, tailored, evidence-based techniques, and a supportive environment, I strive to help my clients uncover their strengths and move toward emotional well-being.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is structured, goal-oriented, evidence-based and effective for various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders. I used CBT to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

ACT is effective for anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic pain. I use ACT to help clients develop psychological flexibility by accepting difficult emotions while committing to value-driven actions.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT is effective for individuals with borderline personality disorder, trauma, and emotional dysregulation. I used DBT to help clients regulate emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and develop distress tolerance.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFT is particularly useful for trauma recovery, emotional regulation, and deepening self-understanding. My IFT informed practice helps clients with emotional processing and self-awareness.

Carol seems like the perfect fit for my needs which is ADHD coaching/therapy, help with self confidence and spirituality. I also have C-PTSD which seems like she will definitely help with that! She was very warm, inviting, and open minded which I truly value in a therapist.
