About
Welcome! So, you decided to check this out? Carolina is glad you did. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. Deciding to take on therapy can be a nerve-racking experience. Therapy is a place for you to express your thoughts and understand your emotions in a safe and supportive environment. My method is nontraditional in the sense that I engage in back-and-forth dialogue rather than the conversation being one-sided. My experience with community mental health and psychiatric hospitals influenced a Cognitive Behavioral and solution-focused approach. That means that the skeleton of what I do is skill-building. So I tend to sound a little like a coach. However, this does not mean we won't do some of that soul-searching stuff you see on TV. Yes, you all will dip into those past childhood experiences because they tend to have a huge impact on what we do today. I EMDR certified which is a great modality that can help address those traumatic events.
