Carolyn's Approach to Therapy
Hi, I’m Carolyn. I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with nearly 20 years of experience across pediatric and adult hospitals, home health, the VA, and the insurance world. These diverse experiences have shaped the way I work with people, creating a space grounded in warmth, authenticity (yes, weirdness included), and humor. You can show up exactly as you are. Therapy can be a place to pause, breathe, laugh, and start building a life that feels more aligned with your values.
I work with people living with chronic illness and those navigating grief - after a loss, during major life changes, or when things haven’t gone as planned. I also support caregivers and parents facing the quiet overwhelm of showing up for others while trying to stay connected to themselves.
If you’re going through a difficult time and want someone to walk alongside you - someone who can hold space for the hard stuff and still laugh with you - I’d be honored to support you. Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff or overly serious. It can be human, hopeful, and even a little funny. Reach out for a consultation, and let’s see if we’re a good fit.
