“Truth and courage aren't
   always comfortable, but
    they're never weakness.”

- Brené Brown

My Approach

I provide a safe, nonjudgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings. and behaviors without fear of criticism. By fostering a trusting therapeutic relationship, I aim to support you in gaining insight into your struggles and developing effective coping strategies. I integrate various therapeutic

techniques and modalities tailored to your specific goals and preferences.

Through collaborative discussions and exploration, we work together to

address underlying challenges, build resilience, and empower you to make

positive changes in your life. I am committed to your well-being, growth,

and am here to accompany you on your journey towards healing,

self-discovery, and personal transformation.

My Background

Hello, I'm Carter!

 As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles, CA,

  I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and utilize an attachment-based                approach in my practice. I am trained in EMDR therapy to help individuals          process and heal from traumatic experiences.

       My professional foundation was established at the Antioch University                 Counseling Center; a non-profit community mental health clinic.

       During my time there, I gained valuable experience facilitating therapy             sessions for individuals (adults and adolescents), couples, and families.
