MOTUS: a Latin word that means "movement, motion," “progression,” “a feeling of moving forward or evolving.”
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.
Welcome!
“The greatest act of courage is to be yourself in a world that constantly tries to make you like someone else.”

In adult life, we often face complex challenges—stress, relationship issues, career changes, or personal growth struggles. Sometimes, it’s hard to navigate these feelings on your own. My individual therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions, gain clarity, and develop effective coping strategies. Together, we’ll work to build resilience, improve your well-being, and help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Whether you're looking to overcome specific hurdles or simply want to better understand yourself, I’m here to support you on your journey.
ADULTS
Rooted in compassion and evidence-based approaches, we can start to create meaningful change—exploring your story, addressing your challenges, and progressing at a pace that feels right for you.
As teens grow into young adults and start taking charge of their lives, they might find it hard to express what they need, especially to their parents. But talking and sharing is important. The right support can help you handle tough emotions, changing friendships, school pressures, and family stress. I work with teens to help you listen to your inner voice, build confidence in who you are, and find where you belong. With support, you’ll feel more grounded, confident, and ready to take on life's challenges.
ADOLESCENTS
COUPLES
If you're needing support navigating your partnership, whether you're at a crossroads or asking yourself, "Is it supposed to be like this?"—you’re not alone—and that’s okay. In couples therapy, I create a safe, supportive space where both of you can honestly explore your feelings, frustrations, and hopes. But fair warning: growth often involves a little discomfort—so be prepared for those hard conversations and tough truths. I will challenge you to face those difficult moments with courage and curiosity.
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.
