Carrie has extensive experience evaluating and treating a wide range of mental health concerns across the lifespan. She is passionate about helping patients feel better, function better, and regain a sense of control in their lives.

She particularly values developing long-term relationships with her patients and helping them navigate treatment as their needs change over time. Outside of her clinical work, Carrie can usually be found shuttling her two sons from one activity to the next and cheering them on from the sidelines. She also has a longstanding passion for animal rescue and continues to be actively involved in rescuing and fostering animals in need.
