Anxiety causes us oftentimes to avoid and isolate. Through cognitive behavior therapy, exposure work, and dialectical behavior therapy, I work with clients on challenging this avoidance in order to help you cope more effectively with the anxiety you struggle with.
Obsessive worrying, thinking, feelings of nervousness, and anxiety can be debilitating and impact your daily life. Let us help you detangle and exit this cycle so you be your best self.

Do you feel stuck in place, confused, or unsure of what your next step is or what you should be doing? I work with clients that want more for their life and are unsure how to move forward. This often occurs as an effect of anxiety and fear of the unknown. Together we can identify the root of your anxiety and or fears and work to overcome the obstacles between who you are and who you want to be.
To exist is to exist in a state of anxiety; I will work with you to uncover sources of anxiety as well as work to develop coping strategies and skills necessary to confront and disrupt anxiety triggers & thought patterns to persist and impact your day to day functioning.

I will address anxiety and fears by integrating psychological techniques with Christian principles to provide a comprehensive and faith-based approach. I will guide you in understanding that it is normal to experience fear but emphasize relying on their faith to navigate through challenges. Prayer, meditation on scripture, and the cultivation of a strong spiritual foundation are often incorporated to promote a sense of peace and trust in God's plan. Cognitive-behavioral strategies may be employed to identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to anxiety. Encouragement to surrender worries to God and trust in His guidance is a common theme, aligning with Christian teachings on casting anxieties onto the Lord. Through this integrative approach, you are supported in managing anxiety in a manner that is consistent with their Christian beliefs while fostering mental and emotional well-being.
Carries often works with clients struggling with perfectionism, anxiety and people pleasing.
Overthinking leaves you stuck in your head and draining your energy. You second-guess your every decision and struggle to be productive with procrastination. Or maybe you have a hard time saying "no" to others, leaving you burned out, or, resentful. Imagine how much you can accomplish you without perfectionism, burnout, and self-doubt holding you back. Carrie helps clients go from burned out to boundaried. From overthinking to taking action. From emotionally spiraling to grounded and resilient.
My therapeutic approach involves delving into the roots of anxiety, aiming to understand the underlying factors that contribute to heightened fears and worries. I create a safe and empathetic space where clients can explore the origins of their anxiety, recognizing that it often stems from deeper sources.
In our sessions, we collaboratively investigate patterns, triggers, and past experiences that may be influencing the intensity of anxiety. By gaining insight into your deeper emotions, beliefs, and thought patterns associated with anxiety, we move towards replacing long-held fears with updated information.
My focus is on empowering clients to respond differently to anxiety by developing coping mechanisms, challenging irrational beliefs, and learning to accept and allow the emotion to move through them. Through a process of exploration and education, we will replace fears rooted in uncertainty with a more nuanced and informed understanding of the challenges they face.
I utilize a combination of evidence based techniques, including CBT, Mindfulness, and EMDR to create a plan to help you challenge maladaptive thought patterns, manage physical and emotional symptoms of anxiety, and overcome specific phobias.

Utilizing a specific approach that is tailored to your needs and current skill set is a very important factor in therapy.
