Carl’s first priority is to create an emotionally supportive environment for you that emphasizes personal responsibility and encourages your growth toward a happier and more fulfilling life. Carl hopes to help you see your own strengths and the path to leveraging them as you face life’s challenges. He will be there for you, listening and supporting you when you are adjusting to changes in a relationship, growing during a transition, challenging a past hurt, or whatever focus that will help you on the path to fulfillment and flexibility.
Carl also has an interest in working alongside individuals on their own personal spiritual journeys. He has a passion for helping those who want to deepen their connection to a greater truth or faith - whatever form that may take for you. Carl is interested in naming religious trauma and beginning the healing process.

Carl’s approach to therapy is both nurturing and motivating. He uses a combination of therapeutic techniques including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to assist those struggling with anxiety, depression, insecurity, stress, fear, pain, and relational issues. He has experience working with young adults, parents, and veterans. In his work with couples, Carl utilizes Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT) to focus on goals related to communication, lack of connection. and/or lack of trust - often following a break. Carl works collaboratively with clients, meeting them where they are in their journey to find connection, flexibility, and meaning.
