More about Carolyn

- LPC
With over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, family dynamics, and personal growth. My therapeutic approach centers on helping clients improve communication, overcome social anxiety, and discover deeper meaning in their personal journeys.
I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their challenges and strengths. Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I work collaboratively with individuals to develop practical strategies for addressing interpersonal conflicts, building self-confidence, and aligning with their core values.
My practice focuses on empowering clients to communicate more effectively, manage social anxieties, and uncover their unique life purpose. I approach each therapeutic relationship with empathy, respect, and a genuine belief in each person's capacity for positive change and personal transformation.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
