Hi, my name is Caren and I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years. In this time, I have had the opportunity to work with many issues and different populations, which have helped to hone my skills as a therapist.
I don't believe in quick fixes or putting band-aids on what might be core issues.
About me
If you are suffering from anxiety or depression or even trauma, I can help you find your way back to a place of self-love and compassion, which will help improve the quality of your life
I incorporate and eclectic approach that draws from different modalities such as EMDR, Gestalt Therapy, teaching mindfulness, as well as, relaxation techniques that have proven to be effective in helping with anxiety, depression, trauma and many other issues that we, as human beings face.
My approach is collaborative and interactive, yet gentle to help you feel safe and supported as you work through the issues that are preventing you from feeling joy and fulfillment in your life.
Empowerment is a theme that is woven throughout my work, as well as creative expression
You are not defined by the worst you have experienced!
You are so much more than you pain and suffering and
it doesn’t get to rule your life.
Whatever struggles that you may be facing,
I am here to tell you that your situation is not hopeless and
you don’t have to deal with it alone.
My Story: The Wounded Healer
The concept of the “wounded healer” is not a novel one.
Carl Jung and Rollo May both developed the premise of the transformative nature of suffering – how
someone who has been through his or her own personal pain, may be better equipped to help others.
As a survivor of childhood trauma, I can say that I have met my darkest pain. I know what it is like to feel unlovable because of shame – I understand what it is like to look at yourself in the mirror and not like what you see.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom
