It can be scary when memories of abuse and trauma refuse to stay in the past and insist on interfering with your present. There is a frustration and confusion that comes when you want to be close to others, but you've also learned that people and the world aren't safe.
I am an individual, family and adolescent counselor licensed in Michigan and Ohio with 6+ years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, depression, emotional abuse and anger management. I love helping individuals find their voice and reclaim the narrative of their lives in beneficial ways.
My counseling style is warm and attentive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am skilled in creating treatment plans that will help you meet your individual needs.
It takes a tremendous amount of bravery to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and I commend you on taking the first steps towards a change.
I look forward to working with you!

In only a few short weeks I'm beyond satisfied with the results I've experienced thus far. She asks all the right questions to spark the response needed jog your thinking and gives an honest assessment of how she feels things are going. Last, but not least he voice is very calming as well, which helps to relax any anxiety that you may have coming into your session, which is very appreciated!

Carmen is a great therapist! I always feel supported when I communicate with her and she gives me further insight to my point of view or thought process when I get stuck on a situation. Carmen also asks questions that help me see a different point of view to situations that I don’t think about in the first place. She offers many suggestions to help decompress and listen to what my actual needs may be. Overall, I would highly recommend Carmen as a therapist to others if they’re looking for someone compassionate and open-minded!

Written on Jul 13, 2021 after therapy with Carmen for 11 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes
Carmen is someone I feel safe talking about even the most deeply embarrassing things to. I struggle with a lot of things that bring me shame and feel very childish to me, and Carmen never makes me feel foolish about any of it. She strikes the balance between guiding me forward while also giving me space to make my own decisions and conclusions. She is a safe space in a world where nothing feels safe, she listens to me cry, she reads all my angry journals, and never invalidates even my most extreme emotions.

I’ve only just started my sessions with Ms. Carmen, but love them so far. I find it absolutely beautiful how Ms. Carmen truly cares and understands me deeper than just surface level. She pushes me to get past those uncomfortable and hard parts and has me face them head on, and that really helps me, but also understands and encourages communication in case she pushes too far and gives alternatives. I appreciate her attentiveness and compassion more than I can express.
I recommend for sure!

Carmen is thoughtful and patient and asks questions that get to the heart of the matter. I’ve been to counseling before and it seems like there was a lot of talking but I didn’t always leave with tools I could use right away. Carmen provides insight that I can use to work on my concerns right away.
Written on Oct 25, 2020 after therapy with Carmen for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues
I always look forward to my sessions with Carmen. I've been going through CBT therapy with her for 3 months to manage post partum depression. She responds in a timely fashion to messages and always sends me informative articles/ materials pertaining to health and even my personal life. I told her I was a yoga instructor and she forwarded me information about a yoga contest I could participate it which told me she was thinking about me. I had to go through a few different therapists but it was worth it to meet Carmen.

I find Carmen to be very understanding. She is patient when I cry and let’s me scream if I feel like screaming. I have made real progress with her in a short time.
She is helpful in giving me insight and at the same time letting me figure things out
for myself. Reach my own conclusions.

The support Carmen has given me has been a great encouragement. She reminds me that I have value and helps me reflect on my own worth. I am surprised actually at her availability and the responses that I get from her. My schedule is a difficult one and I can trust that she will be able to respond to me even late into the evening. I feel like I really have someone in my corner.
