About Carol

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in work with individual and couples; I see adults of all ages, from adolescence through mid life to the early senior years. Common concerns people come to me for help with include difficulties with self esteem, with living up to their fullest career potential, problems in their interpersonal relationships or their feeling states, or moods. I maintain a telehealth private practice.

Approach

I’m an interactive, psychodynamic, problem-solving therapist; my approach provides support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address the personal life challenges and transitions they are facing. I integrate modalities and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. I always work with compassion, empathy, and understanding to help my clients build on their strengths and to attain the personal growth, resilience, and understanding they are committed to accomplishing. My training in psychology is enriched by the advanced post doctoral training I’ve completed in psychoanalytic psychotherapy which provides a firm basis for what I believe is effective, in-depth treatment.
