About My Clients
I work with women experiencing symptoms of complex trauma or emotional dysregulation due to adverse life experiences. A holistic treatment plan includes a focus on physical, mental, and spiritual health. Many clients see an improvement in symptoms within the first month as they learn coping skills, increase self-compassion, begin to process traumatic experiences, and develop inner resources.
My Background and Approach
Having graduated with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University, and her undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia, Caroline is a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and is practicing as a Resident in Counseling under supervision as she completes the requirements for Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensure in Virginia. Caroline pursued additional training to receive the designation of Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) and is EMDR-trained by the EMDR Institute. Caroline works from an attachment-based approach, prioritizing the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship, and incorporating mindfulness and sensorimotor (body-oriented) interventions into treatment as informed by the latest research in psychology and neurobiology. Her primary therapeutic modalities are Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and spiritual psychology.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that physical, mental, and spiritual health are all connected and that every individual has the potential for healing and the drive to live with a sense of inner harmony. Compassionate and skilled counseling can help you shed layers of pain and confusion that keep you from embracing your full potential. By choosing to begin the healing journey with a mental health counselor, you step towards the possibility of a brighter tomorrow. There is hope for healing, and also for personal growth in the process, moving through an experience you never expected or warranted towards a life richer in meaning.
