About me

I am licensed in California and Utah with 17 years of professional work experience. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
To be transparent, I have a neurological disorder that sometimes impacts my speech patterns, however it does not impact me cognitively. Because of my speech impediment I completely understand if you ask me to repeat myself or just need to work with another therapist.
I use worksheets and help to find support group suggestions on the Better Help platform for almost everyone. I love those resources, they really work!

Dr. Carrasco is an excellent listener. She helps guide you to find solutions to issues you may be facing. She does this in a calm and caring way.

I love that she gave me work to get through…even though it’s been emotionally difficult I have enjoyed processing through her questions.
