Therapy is a big step. I am here to support you in deepening your self-awareness and cultivating skills to live the life you envision. The heart of my work includes guiding individuals through childhood and adult trauma, also referred to as complex trauma. My passion lies in assisting clients in uncovering the root causes of their struggles, identifying disruptive thought patterns, and building healthier responses to promote healing and integration.

My approach is deeply rooted in empathy, respect, and a strong commitment to establishing a safe and nurturing environment. Your personal experiences, values, and goals inform our sessions, fostering a collaborative dynamic between us.

I focus on adults dealing with complex trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges, including those within the LGBTQ+ community.

My training includes:

EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a a highly effective therapy for trauma resolution designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. The therapist guides the client through recalling traumatic memories while simultaneously focusing on bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements,  or auditory tones.

This process helps desensitize emotional reactions to the memories and reprocess them with less discomfort, enabling healthier coping instincts. EMDR is commonly used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, anxiety, depression and other related mental health struggles.

Parts Work Therapy - This therapy focuses on addressing the various "parts" or aspects of an individual's personality or psyche. These parts can represent conflicting feelings or behaviors often rooted in past painful events. The goal is to help individuals understand, heal, and integrate these parts, fostering self-compassion and balance. It is often used to address trauma, internal conflicts, and emotional regulation issues. I have witnessed remarkable results when combining Parts Work with EMDR.

DBT - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT) with mindfulness practices and emphasizes simultaneously balancing acceptance and change.

“Since beginning my work with Carmen less than a year ago, my life has improved drastically on all fronts. My former baseline of anxiety, self-doubt and insecurity has been transformed into one of peace and self acceptance. I am enjoying a solid sobriety that always felt out of reach. My work has improved and I now have skills to navigate issues for the best outcomes. I have disentangled myself from toxic relationships and my current relationships are thriving. I could not have done this without Carmen. She held me accountable in a way that inspired me to be a better version of myself, while allowing me to feel totally accepted when I struggled or faltered. Several of my closest relationships have commented that I am currently my “best version” of myself and I have to agree. I am so grateful for Carmen and excited about the future for the first time, in a long time.” - MC
