I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted for who you are. I’m a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist who works collaboratively with clients to better understand what they’re experiencing and develop practical tools to help them feel more confident and in control of their lives.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a variety of settings, including community mental health and school-based environments.

My clinical experience includes supporting clients with anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, and difficulties navigating boundaries and communication.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with a lot. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you can be yourself, work at a pace that feels comfortable, and feel like you have someone in your corner.

With over 12 years of experience in mental health counseling, workplace wellness, and integrated primary care behavioral health, my life’s purpose is to help people find wholeness. I’m passionate about offering compassionate support to individuals and couples as they navigate life’s challenges, ensuring they feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings—including hospitals, outpatient programs, and corporate environments—where I’ve built meaningful relationships with clients while managing high caseloads. Whether providing short-term counseling, coaching clients through transitions, or supporting employees in enhancing their well-being, I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where individuals can address their challenges with understanding and care.

A particular area of focus for me is helping couples strengthen their relationships. I find great fulfillment in guiding them through communication issues, conflicts, and life stressors. I believe strong, healthy relationships are key to overall well-being, and I’m passionate about helping couples build lasting, supportive connections.

I also work with individuals dealing with a range of issues like depression, anxiety, family challenges, and work-related stress, always aiming to help them find balance and self-discovery. Additionally, I have contributed to wellness programs and telehealth services, equipping individuals and leaders with tools to thrive both personally and professionally.

I am dedicated to continuous growth, which is why I’ve pursued additional training in areas like Primary Care Behavioral Health and telehealth technology. This allows me to stay adaptable and ensure the care I provide remains effective and relevant.

In every aspect of my career, I strive to create a safe, open, and understanding space for people to explore their challenges and feel supported on their journey toward wholeness.

Hello, and welcome, my name is Caroline I know that choosing to seek mental-health support takes strength, and I want you to know that you will not face this journey alone. If you've ever felt like seeking Psychiatric care means meeting a busy, rushed provider who treats you like a diagnosis, I get it. Our world has a way of speeding up healthcare to the point where it's impersonal. I started my own practice to change that. I have experience with all levels of care from severe hospitalizations to routine medication refills. I am particularly passionate about anxiety and in helping my clients who tell me their "brains just won't turn off"...learn how to slow down.

You may understand exactly why you feel the way you do and still find yourself unable to change it. Anxiety, trauma, grief or a pattern from years ago can keep showing up even when you've tried hard to move forward. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified EMDR Therapist. Counseling is something I chose as a second career after a background in science and years as a writer.
