School of Education and Counseling, Counseling Division and Senior Instructor
Carolyn works positively, creating a collaborative process for students to explore theory and practice in aspects of trauma intervention and holistic practice. It’s essential to help students become aware of options and alternatives in treatment, both theoretically and experientially. It’s about opening oneself to the whole human condition. Leading with the intention to instill confidence and self-motivation allows students to meet new challenges and determine how best to facilitate healing for their clients.
