I help teens and adults with anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and sleep issues break free from self-limiting beliefs and patterns, so they can live with more freedom and purpose. You might look successful on the outside, but inside, you're caught in a push-pull between productivity and paralysis—swinging between overworking and procrastination, unable to truly rest even when you're drained. Maybe stress is showing up in your body—tension, headaches, trouble sleeping. Or perhaps past experiences have left you feeling disconnected from yourself and others, wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR to help you quiet self-criticism, process past experiences, and reconnect with yourself. For insomnia, I offer CBT-I. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, or sleep struggles, therapy gives you the space to step out of survival mode, build new skills, and feel more like yourself again. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we’re the right fit. With telehealth sessions available in 40 states and Washington, DC, and in-person appointments in Dallas, therapy has never been more accessible. Ready to take the next step?

Hey there, I’m Carolyn, a very down-to-earth person who isn’t afraid to show up as my true self.

Do you find yourself fighting with negative thoughts? We all go through life, experiencing difficulties that shape us in different ways. These changes can make following a healthy lifestyle difficult, including adding to these negative thoughts. I believe that understanding and accepting your life experiences is key to returning to a healthy lifestyle. Drawing from my personal struggles with mental health and neurodivergence, I take a highly personalized approach to therapy. I primarily practice person-centered talk therapy, while integrating Acceptance and Commitment, EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor our sessions to your personal needs. I understand that reaching out for help can be challenging, but I strive to maintain a judgment-free space where you can express whatever is on your mind. If you’re ready to take the next step, please feel free to email or call me anytime during the week. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey towards healing and growth!

I help people-pleasers remove fear and dread from their choices so they can FINALLY become CONFIDENT and pursue their real dreams.

Everyone struggles with relationship issues, anxiety/worry, work stress, substance use, or uncomfortable feelings. It can also be extremely difficult to find balance and perspective sometimes. My goal is to provide a safe and organized framework for identifying these problems and developing new skills or ways of thinking about them. Ultimately, I help my clients develop the tools needed to manage independently and live a life they're excited about. Due to the current state of the world, I'm also working with a lot of individuals who are feeling isolated and cut off from their "normal" support systems to help them manage life's issues. I grew up in the Dallas area, graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in psychology. I then attended graduate school at Assumption University because of its affiliation with the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy. My clinical training was thus focused on a cognitive behavioral approach to treating mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder as well as substance abuse issues. I was also intensively trained during my internship in Dialectical-Behavior Therapy and I utilize this skills-based approach to help adolescents and adults struggling to build and maintain relationships, manage their emotions or crises effectively. My approach to therapy is problem-focused and very much operates in the present. I collaborate with clients to identify goals, develop skills, and implement them in a structured way. The area of focus in therapy tends to be on reframing thoughts or changing behaviors with the end goal of improving mood or circumstance.
