What I’m most passionate about is helping people become free—free from old trauma, unhealthy conditioning, and patterns that no longer serve them. My work is about guiding you back to a clear, whole sense of self where you feel alive, engaged, and able to face life’s challenges with humor, spirit, and trust in yourself and your path.

What I’m most passionate about is helping people become free—free from old trauma, unhealthy conditioning, and patterns that no longer serve them.

My therapy style is warm, grounded, and deeply exploratory. I help clients look beneath the surface of their struggles to uncover the root causes, bringing a holistic perspective and a practical toolbox to open new pathways toward clarity, understanding, and real change.

First session

In our first session, you can expect to feel warmly welcomed and truly heard. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable and safe enough to begin sharing what’s been heavy on your mind. I’ve been on the other side of the therapy room myself, so I understand how important it is to feel seen and supported. We’ll talk openly about what’s bringing you in and begin to find approaches that feel realistic and meaningful in your daily life.

Strengths

I bring a calm, steady presence and years of personal healing, meditation, and spiritual practice that allow me to hold space with patience and compassion. I listen deeply and help clients access insight and clarity through both traditional and alternative healing approaches, offering perspectives that go beyond talk therapy when needed.

Ideal clients

I work well with people in transition—those moving through life changes, career shifts, loss, or times of uncertainty. Many of my clients come in feeling stuck, searching for clarity or healing from past wounds that still affect them. I especially connect with those who are open to innovative approaches—including somatic EMDR, creative assignments, and more—that can reach beneath the surface and help uncover the deeper truths that lead to lasting growth and transformation.

Treatment methods

Psychodynamic

Going beneath the surface level of issues to explore the root causes of suffering, and working within that deeper terrain to help improve our day-to-day experiences.

EMDR

This powerful method greatly aids in the healing and resolution of trauma, old wounds, and recurring psychological and emotional ailments.

Faith-based therapy

Helping people of all faiths, including unaffiliated or those of no-faith, open to a larger perspective than the personal can bring healing, reassurance, and peace.

Carlin helped me access my younger self, meet him as my current adult self, and offer him the love he didn't receive as his younger self. It was deep, emotional, and fulfilling.
