About me

As a licensed therapist in Indiana, I bring 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenging life experiences, with specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, and addiction.

I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their inner world and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. My approach focuses on empowering clients to build self-love, improve communication, overcome isolation, and rediscover their life purpose.

My therapeutic work spans a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, social anxiety, workplace challenges, women's issues, relationship dynamics, and young adult transitions. I understand that healing is a deeply personal journey, and I strive to provide individualized support that honors each person's unique experiences and strengths.

Through evidence-based practices and a trauma-informed lens, I help clients develop resilience, cultivate self-compassion, and create sustainable pathways toward emotional well-being and personal transformation.

First, always listens. Second, she guides you and has many tools that are helpful. Very supportive.

Written on Oct 13, 2024 after therapy with Carrie for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning relationship issues, and coping with life changes

Carrie has been wonderful. She has helped me through some really hard times. She so positive and I always look forward to hearing from her and getting advice.

Written on Sep 30, 2024 after therapy with Carrie for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes

Carrie is an unbelievable listener. There's a difference with being engaged and truly actively listening vs. listening to respond. She is very calm, provides feedback and really gets to know YOU and what will work for you. She suggests different avenues to take aside from only therapy sessions with her (I.E. groups, journaling, homework, etc). I have put off therapy for a long time & am so glad made the decision to start! It's never too late!
