Take her to small claims court. It'll cost you less than $100 to file (much less in some jurisdictions). If she's a psycho and you say, let the judge see it first hand and you'll get most of your deposit back. Probably not all because of the carpet damage, but most.

right hand side half way down is a guide to landlord and tenant rights. Might want to give Consumer Protection a call.
The Lessee’s Deposit Act requires the landlord to return deposits within one month after the end of the lease, provided the tenant fulfilled the lease obligations and left a forwarding address.
If any part of the deposit is retained, the landlord must send the tenant an itemized list of deductions and any remaining balance within one month. If the landlord fails to return the deposit or to send the itemized list within one
month, the tenant may sue in Small Claims Court to recover the deposit.
If the landlord fails to account for the deposit within thirty (30) days of a tenant’s written request for a refund, then the law allows the tenant to recover actual damages (amount of damages made) or $200.00—whichever is greater. The judge may also award court costs and attorney fees to the person who wins the suit. The law does not permit the tenant to give up, or waive, this right in a lease.
