“Carrie is an exceptionally skilled facilitator who brings both professional training and personal compassion into her Story Groups. Her background with the Allender Center is evident in the way she creates a safe, structured environment that allows participants to engage deeply with their stories. Carrie has a rare ability to listen attentively, reflect with wisdom, and guide with vulnerability. She helped me uncover meaning and healing in parts of my story I hadn’t recognized before. The process not only brought clarity and emotional healing, but also sparked a desire for continued growth. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is ready to engage their story in a deeper and more transformative way.”

“Carrie creates a safe space for even a very quiet, introverted person like me to be comfortable with sharing. Her empathy, patience, and kindness makes it easy to listen and be open. She effectively communicates Story Work to understand what I'm trying to accomplish, how I can see what I experienced in the past, and how it affects me today.”
