About
I help clients make sense of difficult emotions and patterns by breaking complex ideas into clear, practical tools they can actually use in everyday life.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than nine years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck. I work especially well with clients who want more than a place to vent—they're looking for practical insight, clearer direction, and tools they can apply in everyday life. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns shaping your choices, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on making emotional and psychological concepts easier to understand. I use skill-based strategies for emotional regulation, trauma processing, cognitive reframing, mindfulness, and behavioral change. You can expect honest conversation, curiosity, humor, and tools tailored to how you think and live.
You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin where you are, make sense of what's been weighing on you, and work toward changes that feel realistic and meaningful. If you're ready for a supportive, practical space focused on moving forward, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.

As a military veteran, I have experienced many challenges that give me a true understanding of how trauma affects the mind and best strategies for healing.
As a versatile Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I have decades of experience in psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and developing personalized treatment plans. Previously an owner of a private practice for 14 years, I learned to be prepared to treat all mental health issues with a variety of effective approaches, and always with compassion and empathy.
My approach to care is centered on empathy and genuine partnership. I strive to help you build your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward well-being. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or life's many challenges, I listen, understand your experiences, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your needs.
My goal is not only to reduce symptoms but also to help you improve your overall quality of life and move toward the future you desire. I consider it a privilege to be part of your mental health journey and am committed to providing care with compassion, respect and hope.

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!

I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and understood, and my goal as a therapist is to create a space where you can show up fully—messy, real, and human—and still feel accepted.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 8 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges. I began my career in applied behavior analysis with children on the autism spectrum before transitioning to work with eating disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety. Through these experiences, I learned how deeply our emotions, bodies, and stories are connected and how healing begins when we feel truly seen and supported.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Houston Christian University. My therapeutic approach blends accountability with humor to foster honesty and growth. I use cognitive processing therapy for PTSD, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to support lasting change.
I aim to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate life’s ups and downs. My goal is to help you reclaim peace, build emotional resilience, and move forward with confidence and clarity. If you’re ready to rewrite your story and evolve with purpose, I’d be honored to walk beside you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.
