Specializations
Specializing in trauma informed life transitions and healing in relationship.
Carie works with individuals and folx in relationship ages 18+ who are motivated to take a deep dive into their inner world, to explore the context and environment which shaped their experience, and who are willing to spend time between sessions to practice aligning with their goals.
This journey leads to symptom reduction by fostering Self-compassion, innate wisdom, balance, and Self-leadership. This is a path to making values-aligned choices and living an intentional life.
Carie is a Certified Trauma Practitioner skilled at supporting folx transcending a wide range of past experiences as they work towards Post-Traumatic Growth. This is not always an easy path, but the effort is worth the work.
It is important to note, there are many types of experiences which can leave parts of your nervous system feeling unsafe. This can lead to thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that don't "make sense" to you, that you don't want to have or to do, and can complicate your lived experience.
Carie can help you reorganize your internal system so you can foster Self-healing through Self-leadership.
There is hope for a more easeful and peaceful way.
You can do this.

You might be having a hard time being the person you want to be, feeling disconnected, or are taking on the weight of others' expectations. You are trying, but things feel overwhelming. You sense it is time to really get to know your parts and to heal the wounds from the past so you can live authentically and move into the future you crave.
Healing in Relationship
Trauma Informed Life Transitions
Trauma Informed Life Transitions
Healing in relationship involves two or more people who wish to do healing work together. This may be a romantic partnership or not. Friends, business partners, co-parents, and adult family members also benefit from healing in relationship.
You want to be understood and to understand. You are trying to connect but it is not working. You want to have a meaningful relationship, but something is getting in the way. Healing in relationship is an opportunity to heal the wounded or burdened parts inside that keep you from connecting.
Partners will be supported in fostering a self compassionate and secure relationship within their self so they can stay connected with their parts as well as the other member(s) of the relationship. This work focuses on alternating between internal attachment and partner relational work.
