LCSW, 14 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
I am a LCSW practicing in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC since 2010. Therapy is an opportunity for learning and growth, and I have witnessed amazing outcomes for individuals who worked hard in treatment to elicit positive personal change. I have extensive experience as a Crisis Clinician in Emergency Departments, as an outpatient therapy provider, a Mobile Crisis Clinician, a Health Coach, and as an Employee Assistance Program therapist. I am equipped to provide clinical supervision for associate professionals seeking licensure through the NC Social Work Certification and Licensure Board. My passions include helping others to solve problems; as well as deal with various challenges including trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, faith crises, abandonment wounds, and identity experiences; all while promoting integrity and respect. I particularly enjoy working with first responders, law enforcement, young adults, aging populations and athletes. I love working with anyone who is truly invested in their own healing, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey. My 4 legged furry therapy assistants , Banjo and Maisy, may often be seen quietly snoozing in the background during online sessions.
In our first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and deciding what your treatment goals may include. Our first session will typically last about an hour, and will include a comprehensive assessment so that I better understand what has been going on in your life (and where you want to go from here). This session is also an opportunity for you to ask me questions so that you can decide if I am a good fit for your specific needs.
I love working with motivated clients and partnering together to identify solutions that support success. Please feel free to reach out to me for a consult, as I am more than happy to answer any additional questions you may have about my practice!
I work with individuals who are 18 and above. I enjoy working with students, professionals, people who are navigating transitions (such as divorce, career change, chronic health conditions, etc) and aging populations.
In my practice, I provide a supportive space for the individuals that I work with to navigate their thoughts, feelings and experiences. I have worked in the field for many years and in several different types of treatment settings. While I primarily employ the use of CBT, my clients will find that I draw on a variety of other techniques as well. I do not take a "one size fits all" approach. I work with each of my clients to identify what they need and what works best for them. I provide a positive and solution oriented perspective when I am communicating, and my goal is for my patients to leave each session with new coping skills for their unique problems.

From our initial (very tearful) meeting, I knew Carrie would be the warm, thoughtful listener I needed to help me feel empowered in my life again. Her unwavering presence and insight have been invaluable for my journey of self discovery and healing. As someone who came to Carrie with years of compartmentalized grief, I never imagined feeling like myself in this way again. I cannot recommend Carrie highly enough.

Carrie always makes me feel like I am safe to talk to her about anything. Very caring and honest individual. I feel better just knowing her.
