Carolyn specializes in working with adolescents and adults with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other anxiety-related disorders. She utilizes evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and often incorporates mindful self-compassion practice into her work with clients. Carolyn seeks to help her clients find balance and develop independence; she believes in each client’s inherent ability to grow, find the answers they are looking for, and do hard things, and she is passionate about walking alongside and guiding them in this journey.

Carolyn is committed to creating a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space where clients feel seen and supported in the fullness of their identities. She actively values and welcomes clients across diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, gender, sexual, and spiritual identities, and understands how systemic and societal factors impact mental health. She partners with clients to explore and honor their lived experiences, while developing awareness of unhelpful patterns that may keep them from living consistently with their long-term goals and values. Carolyn strives to foster genuine, collaborative relationships, and to infuse the therapeutic process—which can often feel painful and vulnerable—with humor, humility, and lightheartedness.
