Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or frustrated by patterns you understand but can't seem to change? I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD and neurodivergence, trauma, major life transitions, relationship stress, and the emotional impact of medical concerns. My style is warm, down-to-earth, straightforward, and collaborative, with humor when it fits. I have 15 years of experience as a therapist, including 10 years working in a neuropsychology-focused setting. Together, we'll make sense of what you're experiencing, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build practical strategies that fit your life and your goals.
Our first session is a conversation, not an interrogation. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what's been difficult lately, what you've already tried, and what you would like to be different. You don't need to have the right words or your whole story organized before we meet. I'll ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and help us identify the concerns that feel most important to address first. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer idea of how we can move forward together.
My style is genuine, warm, and straightforward. I listen closely, ask questions that help you look at things from a different perspective, and provide honest feedback without judgment. I balance empathy with practical problem-solving and believe humor can have a place in therapy without minimizing what you're experiencing. I want therapy to be a space where you can be fully yourself while also doing meaningful work toward change. Rather than using the exact same approach with everyone, I adapt our work to your personality, needs, goals, and circumstances.
I work especially well with teens and adults who may be doing their best to manage everyday life while still feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, or misunderstood. For 10 years, much of my work took place in a neuropsychology-focused setting, including work involving neurodivergence and medical concerns. That experience shaped how I help clients understand the ways attention, executive functioning, physical health, relationships, past experiences, and patterns of thinking can affect everyday life. I particularly enjoy working with clients navigating ADHD and neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, trauma, major life changes, and health-related challenges. I also welcome military members and veterans and understand that their experiences and transitions can bring unique challenges. My goal is not simply to help you understand why something is happening, but to help you decide what you want to do with that understanding.
When anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or recurring thoughts keep you feeling stuck, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help us understand the connection between what you think, how you feel, and how you respond. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be contributing to distress and develop realistic ways to challenge unhelpful thinking and respond differently. The goal isn't simply to "think positively," but to develop a more balanced perspective and practical skills you can use in everyday life.
When emotions become intense, it can be difficult to slow down before reacting or to communicate what you need effectively. I use principles and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients better understand and regulate emotions, tolerate distress, strengthen relationships, establish healthier boundaries, and respond to difficult situations more intentionally. These skills can be especially useful when you know how you want to respond but find that strong emotions sometimes take over.
Sometimes you know that something needs to change while another part of you isn't completely ready, confident, or certain about how to make that change. Motivational Interviewing gives us space to explore that uncertainty without judgment or pressure. Together, we'll clarify what matters to you, identify what may be getting in the way, and strengthen your confidence in making changes that are consistent with your own goals and values.
Therapy shouldn't focus only on what's wrong. A strength-based approach helps us identify the abilities, experiences, relationships, coping skills, and personal qualities you already possess and learn how to use them more effectively. We'll acknowledge the challenges that brought you to therapy while also building on what is already working. The goal is to help you develop greater confidence in your ability to solve problems, make decisions, adapt to change, and move forward.

After several sessions, I continue to believe Carol is the best therapist I've ever worked with. In just one month, I've received more meaningful help than I have in three years of working with providers through the VA. Carol listens, asks thoughtful questions, creates a safe space, and empowers me to think for myself rather than telling me what to think. I feel better than I have in years, and I’m excited to keep growing. She is truly phenomenal!

Carol is, without question, the best therapist I've ever had. She's honest, straightforward, compassionate, and incredibly empowering. She creates a safe, welcoming space where opening up feels natural, and her thoughtful, open-ended questions lead to meaningful conversations. I've worked with many therapists through the VA and private practice, and none compare. As a Marine Corps veteran, I wholeheartedly recommend Carol to anyone seeking exceptional care.
