“When I started my mental health journey with Carrie,I was in a lonely place in my life. I was burnt out, anxious, depressed and trying to hold it all together. I've learned so much from her over these last couple of years! She's caring, a great teacher and I love her "homework!" She's had me do drawings and journaling, all types of art therapy. I can't say enough good things about her!”
