Biographical Info

Carrie is a complex trauma survivor from childhood trauma and betrayal trauma in her marriage. After years in traditional talk therapy, she felt stuck. She experienced anxiety attacks on a regular basis, struggled to trust herself or others, had frequent nightmares and lived life walking on eggshells. Then she found somatic work and true healing began. Using a body centered approach, she developed greater compassion and understanding for her protective behaviors, and ultimately was able to get unstuck from the chronic survival state she had been living.
She turned her pain to purpose and is now a Trauma Trained Somatic Practitioner. She is trained in Polyvagal Theory, Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Treating Affairs and Trauma from Gottman Institute, Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness and Meditation, Betrayal Trauma, Somatic Attachment Therapy, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, Felt Sense Polyvagal Model for Treating Trauma and Addiction, Somatic EMDR, and is currently currently a student in the Somatic Experiencing Professional Training Program, seeking to complete the educational and related requirements of the program to use the Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner credential.
