As a mother, daughter, and friend who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have a genuine understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances and how building of new life skills can empower us once again.
I'm Carrie, and I'm a licensed professional counselor. I graduated from Lamar University in August 2024 with a master's degree in counseling and development, and I earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Houston–Downtown in 2012 with a major in psychology and a minor in sociology. I have worked in the field for about 14 years. I am a boy mom and cat lover—I have four sons (two of my own and two bonus) and a husband who keeps me on my toes. I work with clients of all ages and various concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, parenting, and more.
Different experiences throughout my life have led me to want to help others. Above all, being the daughter of a beloved father who struggled with addiction, dealing with trauma, and the intense grief from his passing have been the major driving forces of my motivation. I have an integrative approach to counseling and hope to grow with you at Thriveworks, offering a safe space to work toward your goals while guiding and empowering you.
My goal is to offer a safe, warm, nonjudgmental space for you to share, grow, and feel encouraged. I hope you will take the next step by scheduling an appointment today. You've got this—I can't wait to connect!
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship. The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.
Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.
Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Houston, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions needed for infidelity counseling can greatly vary based on the specific needs of the individuals or couples involved and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Thriveworks infidelity counseling in Houston, TX typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist while considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.
What Is Infidelity? What is the definition of infidelity? It is not so easy a question to answer. Many people define it simply as the act of sexual unfaithfulness, but experts outline three different types of infidelity. These include sexual infidelity, romantic infidelity and a combination of the previous two. Falling in love with another man or a woman and not becoming sexually involved with that person is certainly possible and quite a common occurrence.
Evidently, once adultery has been exposed in a relationship its consequences can be quite different dependent on the type of infidelity. Every relationship is unique and will be affected in a fashion dependent on the partners’ characters, as well as their preexisting rapport. Unfortunately, there are no strict and simple rules on how a relationship will develop after an act of infidelity has transpired – many couples reconcile and rebuild a happy relationship, whilst others will quickly part ways, very often on bad terms. Many couples do, however, persist in unhappiness unable to make a clear decision on how to move forward with their life. This unhappy persistence and indecision can be greatly helped by professional counseling for infidelity.
How Does Infidelity Affect A Relationship? Despite the victim being affected greatly by infidelity, he or she is by no means the only person the affair has a serious emotional impact upon. The entire family dynamic can be transformed as a result; spouses, children, grandparents and even friends may experience the effects of an act of adultery. Despite this far-reaching and vastly damaging impact, more often than not relationships do persist and reconcile.
Counseling For Infidelity Helps Whether the end result is reconciliation or a friendly separation, counseling for infidelity can help guide the couple towards a solution that best fits their particular needs. Counselors are trained to act in a non-judgmental and independent manner, facilitating and shaping conversation and an emotional understanding between the affected individuals. A good counselor will avoid dictating ‘one size fits all’ solutions and platitudes and will focus entirely on promoting the couples’ own conclusions and a constructive dialogue.
At Thriveworks Houston, the counselors pride themselves on the breadth of experience they have gained helping couples just like yours. We want you to understand that infidelity does not have to signal the end of a relationship, yet, no matter the outcome, our counselors will strive to give you the support you need. Why not get in touch with us today to arrange your first counseling session for infidelity.
