Carrie helped me to understand my daughter's way of interacting with others and helped me to be less bothered by it . Largely it was helpful to be able to get the thoughts running around in my head out into the world to someone that was willing to listen to them.

The last few years have brought a lot of stress and change for me and I’m not sure I could’ve navigated it without Carrie. With her help, I’ve slowly made my way out of a constant fight or flight state and into a more relaxed, enjoyable state where I can get things done without anxiety being my driving force all the time. I feel really lucky to have found her.

More about Carrie

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCPC

I believe that we all go through things in life. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples who are going through divorce, death/loss, financial issues, relationship issues, traumatic events, abuse, or deployment/transitional issues. As a former military spouse, I also have experience with military life and the demands of the military lifestyle on individuals and their families. As a counselor with 10 years of experience, I have worked with clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, work related issues, relationship issues, and various life changing issues. Sometimes we just need some support during our difficult times to help us cope and find the silver lining. I enjoy supporting clients during their stressful events in life to help them find Hope, Healing, Empowerment, and Enrichment.

Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Carrie is a great listener who repeats your statements for clarification and acknowledgment of what was said. She is unbiased while working with my wife and I, always uplifting us both for our strengths while giving constructive advice on how we can improve as individuals and a couple. The sessions feel intimate and exclusive, without the sense that we are being rushed off or given partial attention. She helps us work through our issues and to seek the meanings and solutions to them through gentle probing, rather than just throwing out quick fixes or “answers” based on her personal feelings/preferences. She has been a great help to my wife and I thus far, we are very grateful for her time, knowledge and efforts.

Carrie is incredible, when I first started going to her I did not expect much to happen as I talked out my problems. As our sessions continued she has helped guide me while encouraging and challenging me to become self sufficient, more confident, and in general a better overall person. She helped me immensely to work through the problems I was having in my life. She has been an incredibly positive influence on my life and I will use the things she taught me for the rest of my life, I am incredibly grateful to her for all she has helped me to accomplish. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

I found Carrie a few months ago when my family & marriage had literally imploded and have been very happy with our sessions. No matter what I cone to her with, she is able to sort out my dynamics, emotions, resentments and confusion I have bottled up. Her advise makes sense, which is surprising because nothing right now makes sense to me, but she nails it every time. I am able to regroup after speaking with her. I am able to set goals and think more clearly. I feel more accomplished. She has helped me and continues to help me more than she knows.
