Carl brings a relational and collaborative approach that seeks to treat the whole person - body, soul, and mind. Filled with both curiosity and hope, Carl aims to help clients discover, refine, and pursue their goals for healing. Whether it is asking evocative questions and listening well, engaging in lively dialogue, or supplying tools that clients can use to improve their well-being, Carl adjusts his approach depending on the needs of his client. 

Despite living in the PNW for two decades, Carl is still a Southerner at heart, which yields the occasional twang in his voice. He delights in spending time with his family, maintains a steady pile of books that need to be read, drinks obscene amounts of iced green tea, and enjoys repetitively lifting heavy things and setting them down again.
