About Caroline
I believe that we heal in relationship and that there is immense power in feeling seen, heard, and unconditionally supported. Helping people uncover their potential through compassionate mental health counseling is my soul's true calling. I am humbled to have the opportunity to cultivate genuine, caring relationships with clients in my work and to witness the healing power of therapy everyday. I consider my humanness to be my superpower as a therapist. While I possess a set of tools and expertise to help clients succeed, I approach the therapy process with immense humility and will never pretend to have all the answers. Like you, I am a person with strengths, weaknesses, struggles, and successes, and I try my best to tap into this humanness to cultivate genuine empathy in my work with clients. I view the therapy process as a dynamic co-creation and will always emphasize your autonomy as the client.
My Approach
Therapy with me tends to feel collaborative and conversational. I believe wholeheartedly in the mind/body connection and work with clients to increase awareness and implement change using somatic and behavioral approaches. Working with me, you can expect an integration of evidence-based practices which may include mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), self-compassion, and strengths-based practices. My work is also trauma-informed, taking into account how past events may be affecting the present.
