Carole is an empathetic person. She does not waste time on providing me with immediate after-session tools to reinforce the breakthroughs that I experienced during our session. I am so grateful to her.

Carole is empathetic and kind with a good sense of humor. Meeting with her has helped me navigate grief after losing my father in addition to “ burn out” at work.
