Hi, I'm Carrie
Clinical Psychotherapist | Nervous System Specialist | 25+ Years of Expertise
I help committed couples and high-achieving women create lasting intimacy and emotional safety through science-based, nervous system interventions - not communication skills or surface-level advice.
I’ve spent the last 25 years developing clinically-proven methods that help women and couples transform their relationships by rewiring how their bodies actually respond to intimacy, vulnerability, and connection.
I began my career as a psychotherapist in New York City after graduating from New York University and very quickly recognized that traditional therapy wasn’t creating the lasting change my clients needed.
Insight without embodiment?
Progress without neurobiological shifts?
It wasn’t creating the kind of sustainable, relational transformation I knew was possible.
So I pursued over 15 years of advanced post-graduate training in depth psychology, couples therapy, and nervous system regulation to understand the full neurobiological picture of what drives connection, safety, and sustainable love.
I studied everything: The Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Attachment Science, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Healing.
I took what worked, left what didn’t, and created my own clinically-developed method: Safe2Love™.
A framework that doesn’t just ask, “Where did this come from?” but “What neurobiological interventions will change this now?”
Today, I work exclusively with high-performing women and couples who are ready for real change - the kind that’s grounded in science, clinically effective, and actually feels good to live inside.
MY STORY
My husband and I have been married since 2004.
We’ve navigated our own seasons of disconnection: three years of infertility, traditional couples therapy that didn’t create lasting change, moments where we weren’t sure we’d make it through.
But we did. Not because it was easy, but because we learned how to rewire our nervous systems together using the very methods I now teach my clients.
Now we’re in midlife - navigating aging parents, grief, raising a teenager - and I can honestly say: We’re stronger, more connected, and more intentional than we’ve ever been.
That’s what I want for my clients. Not a perfect marriage, but a resilient one built on nervous system safety.
One that holds both your depth and your joy. One that feels safe, alive, and worth showing up for every day.
If that’s what you’re desiring, you’re in the right place.
And I’d be honored to help you create it through my clinically-developed Safe2Love™ Method.
WORK WITH ME
READY TO EXPERIENCE A DEEPER, MORE CONNECTED VERSION OF YOUR MARRIAGE
You don’t need to wait for things to fall apart to want more. More closeness. More ease. More genuine desire.
This work is for accomplished women and devoted couples who know they’re committed and are ready to make that commitment feel nourishing, alive, and effortless again.
You’ve tried traditional therapy, read the relationship books, invested in communication workshops. You’re smart, successful, and capable in every other area of your life.
But when it comes to creating lasting intimacy and emotional safety in your marriage, you need something different. Something that works at the nervous system level, not just the intellectual level.
My clinically-developed Safe2Love™ Method creates transformation 5-8x faster than traditional approaches because we address the neurobiological patterns that keep you cycling through the same disconnection.
If you’re longing for depth, intimacy, and emotional safety in your marriage and you’re ready for science-based solutions that create lasting change - you’re in the right place.
