Counseling

Carolyn is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist specializing in supporting teens and adults with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, body-image and self-confidence challenges, stress, and work/life balance. She also works with couples seeking to improve communication, strengthen connection, and cultivate shared values.

Her practice integrates evidence-based approaches including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the Gottman Method, Polyvagal Theory, and other research-informed modalities. Carolyn often incorporates art therapy to facilitate deeper exploration of emotions and relational dynamics. She is a certified Health Coach and has completed extensive professional development in wellness, leadership, and mind-body practices, including yoga psychology, meditation, and breath work.

Recognizing that each person has an innate capacity for healing, Carolyn guides clients toward acceptance and empowers them to make meaningful changes to live happier, healthier lives. She approaches wellness holistically, supporting clients in areas such as nutrition, movement, personal relationships, career fulfillment, and cultivating meaningful connections.

She sees clients in person and via Telehealth through a HIPAA-compliant portal. Carolyn is an in-network provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans, Blue Choice plans, UnitedHealthcare/UBH/Optum/UMR plans, and Aetna PPO. Super bills for reimbursement are available for all other insurance plans, and self-pay is accepted.
