Meet Carrie

I  work with clients—especially women over 40 and LGBTQ+ clients—who are tired of repeating the same relationship patterns and want something different, deeper, and more secure-inner freedom.

As an Attachment-Focused Relational Coach, I help clients understand how their attachment style shapes dating, intimacy, communication, and emotional safety. I’m certified through The Personal Development School’s Gibson Integrated Attachment Theory™ Certification, and I bring both professional training and lived experience to this work.


Before becoming a coach, I spent decades as a university professor, mentor, and program leader. At the heart of that work—and this one—has always been the same: listening deeply, creating safety, and helping people make sense of their inner world so real change becomes possible.

My clients are insightful, capable, and self-aware, yet still feel overwhelmed by closeness, fearful of rejection, or unsure how to show up authentically in relationships. I offer a space where we go slowly, stay grounded, and focus on what actually works in real life—not perfection, not self-blame.

Relational coaching with me is thoughtful, supportive, and honest. Together, we build the skills and self-trust needed to create relationships that feel mutual, safe, and sustaining.
