Compassionate Counseling
Finding a therapist with whom you can connect and feel safe is vital for healing. With empathy and compassion, Carie creates a safe environment so that you are able to share that which is most vulnerable. By holding the space, a positive attitude, the intention is to promote growth and healing. Whether you come as a family, couple, individual, or if you bring your child, Carie helps you to get past the stuck places, learn new skills, and helps you to make the changes that will enrich your life.

Practicing within a Holistic framework of the Mind, Body, and Spirit connection, Carie adheres to the idea that all is energy and when there is "dis-ease", then something within the self, or the system, is out of balance. Our focus then becomes bringing the system back into balance.

Carie uses the skills of a trained therapist along with the gifts of intuition and conscientious presence to assess & diagnose problematic areas. She is excited about incorporating Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) into her practice as she has experienced that these techniques foster healing for: trauma, negative core beliefs & behavioral patterns, grief & loss, weight loss, depression , anxiety & PTSD, physical discomfort, and many other issues.

Compassionate communication adds depth in all relationships, therefore Carie encourages the use of NVC: Non-Violent Communication; Language of Compassion by Marshall Rosenberg, to facilitate the expression of feelings, needs, and empathic listening. She uses “The Work” of Katie Byron as a cognitive method that helps each individual take responsibility for their own feelings, thoughts, & choices.

In a supportive environment healing, growth & change can & does occur. Carie looks forward to meeting with you & being a guide to help you attain your goals.
