About Me

I am a LIMHP and have been a therapist for about 15 years. I specialize in working with folks with anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, family situations, interpersonal situations, and overwhelming emotions.


My counseling style is eclectic and direct. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and mindfulness therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you on your journey.

I look forward to working with you!

I've been with with Carmen for a short time and already she's been able to help me see things in a different light and be able to verbalize my feelings and situations. She's clearly great at what she does and I look forward to our sessions every week!

Carmen is such an awesome counselor, she’s not afraid to be real with me and will at times make me relate to herself which makes things feel more personable and comfortable. She takes the time to ensure that you are doing okay and genuinely cares for your well-being. Carmen also wants you to find the treatment that is best for you and is not afraid if you do not feel she is a good fit and will recommend to always seek the best care that fits for you which makes her such a kind and caring counselor. Thank you Carmen for being there for me even when we don’t have a session!

I always feel very comfortable talking to Carmen. She doesn’t force anything on me. Are conversations are very fluid, I vent and she offers skills to handle the things that are going on in my life.

I have only been working with Carmen for a few months, but her influence in my life has been so incredibly positive. I was originally seeking help for different matters, but she has been an invaluable support during my sudden loss of a loved one, and I'm so grateful for that. She goes above and beyond for me and even if in the future I no longer seek therapy, the tools she has offered will stay with me forever.

I enjoy Carmen quite a bit, I think she's a cool lady, the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas! She helped me tremendously when I was in a tough situation. She was kind.

Carmen is truly excellent. She is clearly very educated and genuinely good at her job. I would recommend her to anyone, especially someone experiencing anxiety like myself.

Great listener! Carmen did a great job of listening to my issues and provided really wonderful insights. It never felt like she was dictating what I needed to do but instead felt like a collaboration on what we could do to work through the issues I had on hand. Carmen is very helpful and great at what she does

Carmen is so helpful to me! We laugh, which is it’s own form of therapy and she helps widen my perspective on issues that I have struggled with. Thanks!

Carmen has been a great first counsellor to me. Really showed a lot of empathy and support, helped me to be vulnerable and feel understood and validated.

As many of us during the pandemic, I started working on myself and my stress more during this past year. After months of yoga, breathing techniques and getting a little into meditation, Carmen gave me the tools to really process all the information I had in my head, and the feelings I had been having. She is great at explaining different techniques and concepts so that they actually make sense to you. She listens and works with you to find the ones that will work in your daily life. It was thanks to little shifts and "aha moments" that I had during the conversations with her and the information she sent me that I feel more empowered now to deal with my anxiety.

Carmen is a very compassionate, warm, clever and non-judgemental person. They've already helped me get my bearings and focus on the things that could be improved given my life's situatation. I really appreciate their logical and practical approach. I'm happy to have Carmen as a counselor and look forward to our future interactions.

I already feel so comfortable talking to carmen and she has made me feel so at ease. I feel I can share my worries and thoughts with her without any judgment and she responds in an uplifting and positive way. I’m grateful for this help.
