I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience providing therapy in Kentucky. I work with children, teens, and adults to process trauma, strengthen communication and emotional regulation, and develop healthy coping skills for managing stress. Whether you’re healing from difficult experiences, working toward greater self-acceptance, or simply need a supportive space to process, I’m honored to walk alongside you. I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, work through challenges, develop practical skills, and help you move forward with greater self-confidence.
In our first session, we will explore your goals for therapy and I'll gather information on how things are going right now as well as your past history. Once we have a clear picture of your goal/s, we'll identify a few strategies to follow up on in the next appointment and continue our work from there, so you leave the first session with a path forward.
I’m empathetic, supportive, and encouraging, creating a space where you can feel accepted and cared for as we work through vulnerable areas of your life. I’ll help you recognize your strengths, build confidence, and challenge yourself to grow into the person you want to be.
I especially enjoy working with young adults and parents who are trying to learn about themselves while navigating many new challenges like relationships, parenting and a career.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is useful in exploring how our most difficult reactions, like fear, anger, shutting down or lashing out, originate from automatic, often unrecognized, thoughts. I work with many clients to identify their problematic reactions, gain understanding, and create new pathways for healing and handling difficulties in their life.
It's natural to try and avoid painful things, and losing someone we love can be the hardest situation to face. It's important to spend time working through loss, and the other issues it can bring up. Grief therapy can lessen the hurt much more than trying to push pain away. It is possible to transform a terrible experience into one that grows us and deepens our relationships and life. It's an honor to help you process the losses you've gone through.
Motivational Interviewing explores our desire for change and acknowledges forces that keep change from happening too quickly. This is a wonderful method for anyone who has been stuck on a change they've wanted to make, and it allows for open exploration of the issues you'd like to talk about in therapy.
They say there's no manual for parenting, but this may be as close as it gets. PCIT is a two-pronged approach that works first on building an enjoyable deeper connection with your child, then addresses setting boundaries your child can respond positively to so that not just behaviors improve, but your relationships also. This method provides a concrete framework to lean on while working through difficult child behaviors. It also fills the deeper emotional needs of the child and you as their parent. I recommend this for any parents of young child/ren who feels overwhelmed and want to make lasting improvements.

Carla was very helpful on getting me to the kind of structured solutions I would/should be trying to work towards.

Carla is really good at listening first, and then offering various approaches to issues. I was seeking a provider who was willing and able to write a letter prescribing an emotional support animal (ESA) as my main priority; she and I worked together to create that letter first, and then talk more about other things afterward. I really appreciated how we worked together to utilize the time we had left.
