About Carrie
I am licensed in Missouri with 9 years of professional work experience. I specialize in DBT-Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I help clients who struggle with “BIG” emotions and find it hard to regulate them. Most of my experience is with Borderline Personality Disorder as well as those who may struggle with stress, anxiety, anger management, motivation, self esteem-confidence, & bipolar disorder. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

- “Carrie is exceptional. I have struggled to find a therapist that doesn’t feel like they are reading from a generated script or just saying things they read in school. Carrie is REAL and helps me with my REAL problems. I needed someone who wasn’t too soft and was knowledgeable of my psychiatric diagnoses; she checks those boxes and more. I highly recommend Carrie, and I am so grateful I found her.”
