Open-minded

Welcome, you are in the right place and a brighter future begins today. I am here to partner with you and assist you in building the future you desire. I have two decades of experience providing therapy support to individuals. My approach to therapy is warm, humanistic, and person-centered. We will begin by creating a secure and safe place to begin to explore and create small tests of change. My work comes from a whole person lens, recognizing the importance of mind, body, and spirit, while using techniques from Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused, and Integrative psychotherapy. My work is tailored to meet your individual needs, whether they stem from women's issues, relationship problems, grief, trauma, depression, stress, or anxiety. We will begin the journey to whole-person wellness, one step at a time so that you have an increased understanding, along with additional tools to cope and create change while building an increased sense of well-being and self-compassion. This process is nonjudgemental and will create a strong container developed from trust and unconditional positive regard that you will experience blossoming in your other relationships. Thank you and I look forward to starting this journey together. All my best, Carla

I worked with Carla for about a year and I never felt so safe and seen. She did very well in asking questions and always reassured me that I was doing great. I love Carla!!!!

Carla is kind, gentle in her approach. I feel heard by her. It’s important to know that your therapist is supportive. Carla has more experience than some of the others that I reviewed so I felt she was the best choice. I look forward to our visits and I’m happy that I chose her as a therapist. Thank you!

Carla has helped me tremendously and I’m so grateful for the time I get to spend with her. She’s highly knowledgeable and an expert in her field. She has helped me develop tools to regulate my emotions and manage my anxiety.
