I graduated from Pacific University with a Master of Arts in counseling psychology as well as from The University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology.
I utilize evidence base practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Informed Therapies. I use mindfulness techniques as a supplemental practice for interested patients as well.

Carri is a great listener and is really sharp, kind, and funny. I have a lot of "man issues" with asking for help or getting to the emotional components of my challenges. She has good ways to get into that and real tools to help!
