About Carol

Sometimes what you're struggling with makes more sense once you understand the story behind it. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, and challenging life experiences. You may know something isn't working but not yet understand why—or you may have carried the same patterns for years and feel ready for something to change. Before becoming a psychotherapist, Carol spent almost 30 years as a journalist, listening closely to people's stories. Today, that same curiosity shapes her work as a therapist: looking beyond symptoms to understand the experiences, relationships, and beliefs that have shaped the person in front of her. In our sessions, we'll make room for your whole story—not just what's going wrong. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), humanistic and narrative approaches, CBT, somatic work, mindfulness, and trauma therapy. With couples and families, I also use the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, with advanced training through The Couples Institute. Therapy with me is thoughtful, honest, and deeply human. We'll explore what happened, what it came to mean about you, and what may need to change so your past doesn't keep writing your future. Every story can have a new ending. If you're ready to explore yours, I invite you to book a free consultation or your first session with me.
