Do you ever feel like nobody is listening to you? or trying to help you make sense of your struggle? Do you feel that what you are going through makes you feel alone like nobody gets you? Been there...I get it...and I feel you. I will be the first to admit that I don't understand everything but I have enough life experience, to relate to you on some level. I try my best to build our work together on trust, integrity, understanding, and honesty. I work best with individuals who are willing to do the work, the hard work so that you can create an empowered life and improve your quality of life. I focus on issues that include: anxiety, alcohol use/abuse, marijuana use/abuse, depression, psychosis (first episode), life transitioning, and trauma. I work with ages 14 and older, veterans, men and women. I offer group counseling services for substance abuse (alcohol & marijuana), and specialty services for immigrants such as forensic mental health evaluations and adulting courses.

Hello! I’m Carolyn, and I’m here to support you through whatever challenges you may be facing. Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes it helps to talk to someone who’s not part of your inner circle. Whether you're dealing with immediate concerns or looking to dig deeper into longer-term issues, I’m here to help you navigate your path. Personal growth is a journey, and I believe that everyone is always a work in progress! In our sessions, you’ll guide the conversation. You’re in charge of what we discuss, and I’m here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore those topics. I use an eclectic counseling approach, tailoring my methods to suit your unique needs and concerns. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, and sleep medicine. With over 20 years of experience in the Sleep Medicine field and a background in both private practice and inpatient care, I have worked alongside numerous talented physicians and have developed a deep understanding of how physical and psychological health intersect. I specialize in helping individuals improve their sleep with techniques like sleep hygiene and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).

I am the wife of a Retired Combat Veteran and a mother to four beautiful children. I understand the complexities of being separated from your spouse for extended periods and feeling alone in the relationship and raising the children. Even the most well-prepared and successful person can find themselves wondering how things became so complicated, messy, or challenging, and feel at a loss when it comes to what to do to put the pieces back together. People have been shaped and molded by their past experiences, both good and bad. Often, people feel drawn to focus on the bad experiences, leading to pain and struggles of many kinds.

I have been a practicing clinician for over 14 years and have worked with individuals from a diverse range of disorders including severe anxiety, severe depression (and other mood disorders such as bipolar disorder) , addiction, trauma, chronic health issues, and psychosis. I have received my Master's degree from University of Maryland, Baltimore and have my clinical social work license.

I bring extensive experience in serving diverse clients, particularly those from underserved communities. Over the past five years, I have worked as a case manager supporting individuals living with HIV. My role has involved helping clients navigate the challenges of an HIV-positive diagnosis, including acceptance, access to medical care, treatment adherence, and medication management. I have a deep understanding of the barriers faced by underserved populations and am committed to empowering my clients as they move toward improved health and well-being. In addition, I have worked with clients managing serious chronic health conditions in primary care settings. My focus has been on helping individuals find the motivation to make healthier lifestyle choices, addressing behaviors that negatively impact their health, and encouraging practices that ultimately reduce the risk of severe outcomes. Currently, I provide clinical social work services to individuals involved in the criminal legal system. For the past three years, I have supported clients in addressing both childhood and current traumas, including those arising from interactions with the justice system. My work aims to foster healing, resilience, and positive change in their lives. I am deeply committed to advocating for marginalized communities, addressing systemic barriers, and supporting clients in achieving their goals and improving their overall quality of life.
