About

Hi there!
My name is Caroline and I'm an Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I've been a therapist for 5 years. I became a therapist to assist my clients in critically thinking through their problems; to help them find constructive solutions and overall relief. I joined Find A Therapist because I know that there are many people who struggling with pandemic fatigue, isolation, fear, among many other complicated emotions due to what's going on in our world right now. I believe I facilitate a safe and judgement free space for people to obtain support. Each person is capable of being happy and well with the right tools. I also believe that people who reach out for help to get there are among the bravest.

I specialize in Clinical Diagnosis (e.g. helping you figure out what's going on in your head), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults and teens; providing trauma-informed interventions - particularly for trauma from psychological abuse or domestic violence; emotional regulation/mood swing; dealing with racial and social injustice; phobias and anxiety disorders; workplace and/or parental stress; life transitions, grief and depression. Parents - I also have significant experience with teens struggling with irritability and/or difficulties managing anger.

My experience in counseling has been with primarily adults and adolescents of all genders, religions, ethnicities, races and sexual orientations. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The primary tenet of CBT is identifying those thoughts, the behavior or situation that caused it, the resulting emotion, and how we can train our brain to start being honest I also use tenets of DBT, specifically mindfulness, as well as solution-focused therapy.
For Children and Adolescents, I am certified in a new, highly structured treatment developed and tested at Harvard called "Match-ADTC" (Modular Approach to Therapy for Teens and Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma or Conduct".

My therapy mantra is "Nothing stays terrible forever," I advocate for and practice therapy that is client centered. We will start exactly where we are, and where we go is up to you. You do not have to stay stuck. I look forward to providing encouragement, support and identifying the wonderful things about you that will allow for healing.I hope to speak with you soon!
