I love my therapist. She reminds me of family. She is very understanding of everything that I am bringing to her even in the sense of my spirituality. We are still very early in our work together, but I feel we have made great progress in identifying issues that I need to work on. I look forward to continuing to work with her and learning more about myself and taking steps towards healing.

Ms. Carolyn has been an amazing counselor. She is a greater listener and has empathy for the situation without any condescension. Carolyn helped me remember the tools for managing certain situations, and gave me new tactics and techniques for moving forward. She was exactly what I needed to work through some recent trauma that brought up old memories that were impacting current relationships. She helped me get past those and stabilize my relationships, as well as helping me find myself again. If I need to return in the future, I'm glad to know she will be available. I definitely recommend her for counseling.

Carolyn has been an extremely huge help in working through my limiting beliefs and past childhood trauma! She is attentive and she listens with love! Never judging and is so very patient, even when I can’t make some meeting times! She’s always so excited to hear the latest news and she truly cares. I’ve been able to build a strong trust and relationship over the last few months with her because she’s so giving and open to building a strong bond!
