I’m Carrie.
Are you overwhelmed by constant worry, fear, or obsessive thoughts? I understand how debilitating anxiety can be, and I’m here to help.
My Approach
I understand that dealing with anxiety can be overwhelming and isolating. My mission is to provide a supportive and compassionate space where we work together to change your anxious thoughts and behaviors.
Are you worried about your health, fearful of having a serious illness, despite having little or no evidence to support these concerns. This anxiety can lead to frequent doctor visits, excessive health-related research, and significant distress or impairment in daily life.
Maybe your worries are about everyday situations. This worry changes from day to day but feels like it goes beyond what other people worry about, maybe it’s your job, your relationship, your kids. You just don’t feel confident in your decisions or how to move forward.
You have a specific phobia, maybe getting on a plane terrifies you or you are so afraid of vomiting that you can only eat certain foods or maybe you can’t bring yourself to drive on the freeway. Phobias can disrupt or ability to lead a normal life but there are successful treatment options.
Maybe you have intrusive, distressing thoughts and must reassure yourself or engage in repetitive behaviors performed to ease the distress those thoughts cause you and you end up spending a lot of your day engaging in these rituals.
About me and my practice
Who I am
Pronouns (She/Her): Inclusivity and respect are at the core of my practice. Using my pronouns is important to me, and I strive to create a welcoming space.
As a mother, business owner, and Navy veteran, I bring a unique blend of personal and professional experiences to my practice. My approach is compassionate, inclusive, and designed to meet you where you are. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, managing OCD, or seeking support for relationship issues, I am here to guide you on your journey to better mental health.
Treatment Options
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression, anxiety and insomnia. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure for PTSD. I am also trained in ERP and I-CBT for OCD. I also use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help with emotional regulation and mindfulness.
Our thoughts guide our emotions, and our emotions guide our actions. Changing our thoughts can literally change our life. I work with clients to become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so they can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way
How I work
We collaborate to establish clear objectives that guide us in determining the completion of treatment and identifying the most effective approach.
As a licensed professional, I bring expertise and training, but you hold the deepest understanding of your own life, and together, we form a team to address the challenges.
Therapy may occasionally be difficult and distressing, yet it offers an intriguing insight into our behaviors and reactions to various situations.
My hope is for you to embrace the possibilities that therapy offers and to experience each session as a step towards the life you would like to be living.

FAQ
-
I try to focus on brief solution focused therapy. Therapy is typically 12-16 sessions over a course of several months. Treatments for OCD may be longer depending on severity of symptoms. This also does depend on how long you have been struggling with the issues and how frequently we may be able to see one another. My goal is to have you feeling better as soon as I possibly can.
