Therapy is an intimate process; revealing feelings might feel scary and uncomfortable.

I provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental environment and safe place to explore the issues throughout the counseling journey. I use a variety of approaches for individual or group counseling to help my clients, depending on individual needs. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

Hello, I’m Carlyn (pronouns she/her) I believe love and belonging are at the core of who we are and how we connect with others. My experience as a mother of three has helped me understand how attachment plays an important role in how we develop. Our early attachments, trauma, and life experiences can create incredible discomfort and we learn ways to cope and survive, that are not always helpful. Some people think that going to therapy is about getting advice from someone, but our job is to help you learn to trust yourself. My goal as a therapist is to be accepting, non-judgmental, and help to create a safe space for you to grow.

As a tele-health practitioner, I believe compassion is a powerful force in meeting life’s challenges.

Whether you are working through mental health issues, having a tough time working through trauma, experiencing relationship dysfunction, or any other stressful situations, I’m here to help you work through it. My core therapeutic values and approach provide guidance for myself and clients as we work together toward peaceful resolutions to some of life’s most challenging obstacles.

Trouble in your relationship or marriage? Issues in communication or finances? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it might be beneficial to speak with a professional. Most of us have experienced this at some point in our relationships. Counseling can be beneficial by providing a safe space to share without judgment while also having a mediator to assist with misunderstandings. As your counselor, my role is not to tell you what to do as only you know what’s best for you, but instead assist you identifying what is needed to help you start living the life you want to live. I look forward to hearing from you!
