Providing Telehealth mental health services from the privacy of your home or office

Humanity has advanced without fully understanding the impact of traumatic events and losses, which can manifest as anxiety, depression, anger, and shame. When these experiences accumulate, they can lead to symptoms that disrupt your life.

Telehealth has opened up a new era for healthcare! You are no longer limited to a 20-mile radius of your home or office. You can choose any top-notch practitioner in your state and save precious time and gas.

Trauma work, such as EMDR, is actually more efficient online. When using a cognitive behavior approach, shared whiteboards and follow-up emails can enhance the effectiveness of our work. This online approach will fit your lifestyle. Give it a try!

PTSD Symptoms

I work with people whose lives have been compromised by stress, loss, trauma, conflict and injustice.

I provide services for clients facing a range of emotional and relational challenges, including struggles with anger, the aftermath of breakups, marital conflict, parenting stress, and lingering effects of trauma. Through my Inner Courage® Therapy approach—integrating EMDR, CBT, and EFT—I help clients work through emotional triggers, build healthier boundaries, and develop emotional resilience. I aim to create a supportive space where individuals and couples can explore their experiences, gain insight, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

EMDR, A Documentary Film

EMDR therapy is a breakthrough in mental health!

 

In this feature-length documentary, seasoned clinicians speak about EMDR. Film director Michael Burns brilliantly captures this fantastic therapy’s spirit and excitement. EMDR is changing lives. EMDR goes beyond talk therapy. It can change how your brain processes disturbing life experiences, leading to a reduction in symptoms and an improvement in overall well-being. Coupled with CBT, it is a powerhouse. EMDR therapy facilitated by a skilled therapist makes change easier.— And a touch of irreverent humor sure helps!

HOW I USE EMDR IN THERAPY

Before coming to work with Carol, I was considering having children, but I didn’t want to repeat the childhood I experienced.

Jessica

Carol is brilliant. Really. Your marriage couldn’t be in better, safer, straight-shootin’ hands.

Jennifer

Carol speaks Left AND Right Brain, which means she’s like a universal translator for couples. She was able to understand and speak to both sides and create a safe space and common ground for open and honest communication.

Richard

You were the one that helped me kickstart all of this and take my PTSD seriously. I thank you for that forever.
