This time of life can be overwhelming, so full of change and new that sometimes it feels like too much. It can be confusing trying to figure out who you are, what you believe, how to be in relationships with others and even with yourself! Developing autonomy is exciting and it can also be scary to have to “adult” so much. You are taking responsibility for yourself, but probably still feel like you are ‘not quite’ an adult. I love to help people navigate this in-between time....

Do you overthink things or ever feel burnt out? What about after an issue happens, do you fixate on it, obsess over it, or think about the worst possible outcomes? How difficult is it to concentrate and stay focused on what needs to get done? What about your patience, has it run thin enough that you’re finding yourself more easily annoyed or frustrated by things? Managing anxiety is no easy feat, especially when anxiety symptoms can show up in so many different ways. How do you work through a...
Congratulations on taking steps to getting support! Therapy is a way to not feel so alone with our pain, change our thoughts and behaviors so they are more adaptive, and allow us to live in a more expansive way. I see you as the expert on you, and my role as an expert in healing, together we collaborate to get you where you want to be in life. Brain science, attachment theory (childhood relationship with our caregivers), and the context of our culture (as it intersects with our identities) are t...

Perhaps you have dealt with mental health issues before now or maybe this is the first ti...

Carmen is a firm believer that people are not broken and in need of fixing, but rather wounded in need of h...

MY APPROACH TO HELPING I help people who struggle with adult parent-child relationships. I help stop the vicious cycle of guilt, shame, and overly controlled behavior. My clients struggle as you do. My clients report a parent who ignored them literally. They tried everything they could to please the parent and get the parent to see them, but they never did. The feeling that they aren’t good enough is pervasive. Even in areas where they earn awards and respect, they worry that they will hear the...
