MOTUS: a Latin word that means "movement, motion," “progression,” “a feeling of moving forward or evolving.”
Welcome!
My name is Carolyn and I am a psychotherapist in private practice. If you are seeking therapy from a desire for change, progress, or movement in your life, look no further. I invite you to a safe space where you can trust your instincts, foster a sense of movement and growth within yourself, your partnership, and in the possibilities that lie ahead.
“The greatest act of courage is to be yourself in a world that constantly tries to make you like someone else.”

ABOUT MOTUS THERAPY
Motus Therapy focuses on harnessing the power of emotion in motion, or "eMotion," emphasizing the ongoing flow and transformation of feelings within a person.
Recognizing that human emotions are dynamic and ever-changing, my approach supports individuals in understanding, managing, and working with their natural emotional flow to foster healing, growth, and resilience.
What to Expect
01. Schedule a Free Consultation
Book a no-pressure, 15–20 minute call to get to know me, ask questions, and see if it feels like a good fit. We’ll talk about your needs, goals, and what kind of support you’re looking for.
02. Begin Your Sessions
If it feels right, we’ll schedule an intake session—online or in-person.
I will conduct a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to get a broader understanding of you and your history and determine any diagnosis.
Together we will discuss a treatment plan that feels supportive for you.
03. Feel it, Heal it, and Thrive.
Therapy is a journey—and you’re in the driver’s seat. With compassionate guidance, you’ll begin to build insight, release old patterns, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that feel steady, clear, and whole.
