Meet Carey

Some seasons of life feel heavier than others. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same argument, your emotions feel bigger than you can manage, or your brain simply works differently than the world expects. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.

I have passion for working with couples and helping them rebuild connection, communicate with more ease, and feel like a team again. I am trained in the Gottman Method (Level 2) and Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment work, which help partners understand the patterns that keep them stuck and create the closeness and trust they are longing for.

I also love supporting adults with ADHD and neurodivergence and am trained in ADHD certification, as well as working with first responders carrying the weight of demanding work. I am trained in DBT, D-CBT and Polyvagal therapy to help clients process stress and trauma held in the body. Together, we work on managing big emotions, building practical skills, and finding ways of living that fit how you are wired.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that every person and every relationship deserves understanding and compassion. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I want you to feel safe being yourself, knowing you will be met without judgement. When you're ready, I'd love to walk alongside you as you move toward the changes that matter most to you.
