Hi there, I’m glad you are here.
ABOUT
CAROLYN
Learning someone’s story is a gift I genuinely honor. I believe each story is made up of a million little moments that come together to create a unique mosaic of beauty, resilience, and hope. Every chapter, whether filled with joy, struggle, or uncertainty is a vital part of that story, and I feel privileged to witness and hold space for each one as it unfolds.
I started my career earning a Master’s in Education because I genuinely enjoyed working with young people and partnering with parents to support their development. But when I hit pause to raise my own family in Fairfield County, Connecticut, I learned even more about the messy, beautiful dynamics of relationships and navigating life’s chaos at home.
Living in an area where manicured lawns and polished appearances often hid a multitude of underlying pressures, I experienced many days smiling, and others crying, as I juggled the roles of mother, daughter, wife, friend, and sister—striving constantly to secure connections amidst the chaos.
That pause changed me. I gained firsthand insight into how attachment wounds and past trauma can linger and affect every connection we have. I was curious about how these wounds impact trust and belonging, so I decided to dive deeper and earned a Master of Social Work from Simmons University. During my training at Yale’s Child Study Center, I worked with resilient children, adolescents, and complex family systems—seeing how healing is possible, even after unimaginable challenges.
Over time, I realized that wounds from the past stay with us, even through generations. But with awareness, acknowledgment, and repair, we can choose a different path. That’s what drives my work: helping individuals, couples, and teenagers rebuild trust, find hope, and reconnect to themselves and each other—even in the messiness of life.
I believe that our relationships are the foundation of everything. We all crave to be seen, heard, and truly belong.
Today, I like to celebrate hitting all the green lights in New York City—-a truly triumphant moment!—while also embracing the chaos, like my yellow lab, once again dragging everything from the trash across the front lawn. My gift is holding space for the messy and the beautiful, because change happens when we embrace both, and everything in-between.
Hoping the best for you,
Carolyn
