Carrie spent the first part of her adult life raising children: 6 biological children, several foster children, god children, day care children, and 4 foreign exchange students.

Creating a space of unconditional respect and acceptance, she strengthens them to do the work of therapy. She works with adults on attachment, trauma, depression, anxiety, and more. Even though she was done raising children when in graduate school, she found herself drawn to parenting books, devouring them, and practicing on piano students and grandchildren. She is passionate about teaching parents ways to connect with their children to create an environment where children flourish and parents feel competent and effective, especially those raising traumatized children, and foster and adopted children.
