Professional statement

Carolyn supports high-functioning adults who feel confident in many areas of life—but find themselves stuck in painful patterns when it comes to relationships. Whether it’s people-pleasing, over-giving, emotional withdrawal, or difficulty feeling safe and seen in love, her clients are ready to break old cycles and build relationships that feel clear, secure, and soul-aligned.

Her approach blends depth of clinical therapy with holistic, integrative care. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, Polyvagal Theory, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EFT tapping, she helps clients regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with themselves, and shift long-standing relationship patterns. Carolyn also integrates coaching tools and Complementary and Alternative Interventions (CAI) to support healing on mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.

As a licensed clinician, Carolyn brings deep experience in trauma-informed, attachment-sensitive, and mind-body therapies. She has completed robust trainings in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EFT Tapping, nervous system regulation, and energy healing. She’s also pursuing Board Certified Coach credentials and a year-long certification in shamanic healing—expanding her ability to guide clients through transformation at every level of being.

Carolyn offers virtual therapy for adults in Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, Texas, Georgia, and Minnesota, with flexible scheduling to support busy professionals. Clients often describe her as warm, grounded, good-natured, and deeply attuned. She welcomes those who are ready to step into a more connected, empowered, and authentic version of themselves—both in relationships and within Self.


Message to clients

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re someone who’s successful in many areas of life - but when it comes to relationships, you feel stuck. Maybe you over-give, people-please, shut down, or keep finding yourself in the same painful patterns, even though you’re trying so hard to grow. Deep down, you’re craving something more: clarity, emotional safety, stronger boundaries, and relationships that actually feel nourishing.

I want you to know - you’re not alone, and there’s nothing wrong with you. These patterns have most likely developed because of what you've experienced, and they can shift with the right kind of support. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I blend clinical depth with holistic practices - like parts work (IFS), somatic tools, EFT tapping, mindfulness, and coaching - to help you reconnect with yourself, regulate your nervous system, and feel more confident showing up as yourself in relationships of all kinds.

You don’t have to keep doing this alone or pretending everything is fine. It’s okay to want more ease, more clarity, more genuine connection, and healthier, more fulfilling relationships. If you're ready to explore a different way of relating - to yourself and to others - I’d be honored to support you in that journey.
